Light colours refer to those shades that are brighter, clearer and less saturated versions of colours. These colours often contain more white and less black, resulting in a lighter shade. Examples of light colours include pastel colours such as light blue, pale pink, mint green and light yellow. This makes light colours visually appear light and fresh, often creating a sense of purity, freshness and youth.
These colours also have a psychological effect on the viewer, as they tend to evoke calming and positive feelings. Bright colours are therefore often used in children's environments, home furnishings and advertising to create a light, happy atmosphere. In addition, light colours also visually expand the space, so they can be used to advantage in smaller rooms. However, they can have different cultural meanings around the world, but in general they convey harmony and joy.

Finally, the physiological responses of the human eye and brain also play a crucial role in the perception and judgement of light colour.
