Isn't a shadow supposed to be black even if cast by colored lights?

No George, most of the famous Impressionist painters used shadows that
contained the complimentary colour of the object.

And, in any case, it's not actually the _shadows_ (which ARE black) but the
colour of the light around the shadows that gives the effect...

(If you recall, the exhibit had a red lamp and a blue/green lamp casting the
shadows)
