light shade
Softens harsh brightness
Light shade describes partial shadow—an area receiving reduced but not blocked sunlight, typically filtered through tree canopy or translucent barriers.
Gardeners use the term for plants that thrive with some sun protection: Hostas prefer light shade.
Light shade can also mean a pale-colored lampshade or window covering, or a tint only slightly darker than white.
