Men ljusfärgad låter kaka på kaka i mina svenska öron. Det räcker med 'ljus', även om jag begriper vad folk menar när de direktöversätter från engelska 'light colored'.

Ju mer jag hör ljusfärgad, desto mer undrar jag ifall kostymen är 'färgad med stearinljus' .. :P

I actually agree with you, I doubt I ever use this word. I googled it and got more hits than I expected, but many of them related to bodily functions I'd rather not think of.

When using klär it means the person looks more handsome in light colours, than in dark colours. Not that he wears a light coloured suit now. And I agree with your difference between light and bright.
