colored lights

Festive string display

Colored lights are lights that emit or appear in colors other than white—red, blue, green, yellow, and so on.

The phrase most often refers to decorative string lights used for holidays and celebrations: The house was strung with colored lights for Christmas.

Colored lights also appear in stage lighting, nightclubs, and other entertainment settings where they create atmosphere or visual effects.
