As long as there's any trace of blue in the sky above, or any visible
clouds, you can expect shadows to be non-black.

As long as there are any illuminated mountain tops nearby, you can
expect shadows to be non-black.


Heck, even on the moon, where the surface has an albedo of no more than
5%, you can expect shadows to be non-black.


Also, make sure that your display is properly calibrated. If it isn't,
judging the appearance of images by such details as brightness of
shadows, overall hue, etc. is moot.
