Shade at the top meaning, a third color?
Exactly. Adding a bright highlight makes the shell look real and not flat.
I would personally suggest that you also fix up the colours on your sprites. On the blooper, there isn't enough contrast, and on the beetle, the brighter red shade looks too orange and harsh.
You have a good start though!
