White light is light that has not been scattered. Shine a beam of white light through a prism, and the light is separated into 'rainbow' colours. Sunlight shining through raindrops is the cause of a rainbow appearing in the sky.

Is there such thing as dark white?

The colour 'white' when all of the light is bounced of the surface on which the colour is mounted. If the colour is darkened then there will be some light being absorbed into the surface. This means that the colour is no longer 'white' more of a grey or possibly black. :)


Is red a light color?

No I would not generally say red is a light colour, but adding white to make pink or mixing it with yellow and white to make a light orange would work. A light colour is one with white in it, so unless the red is mixed with white it wouldn't be a light colour. Red is generally considered to be a very dramatic colour, so no, it is not a light colour unless mixed in one of the ways above. I hope this helped!
