The application of pale color tones, characterized by high brightness and low saturation, is widespread in the color palette of residential interior design in China. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the material categories, application scenarios, and stylistic factors of pale colors in residential interior spaces. The analysis reveals that the utilization of interface colors in Chinese urban residential interiors has undergone varying degrees of influence due to the improvement of socio-economic levels, advancements in home decoration technology, lifestyle changes, and the introduction of foreign design cases. Through literature review and field surveys, this paper identifies three natural evolutionary periods of pale color tones in interior interfaces: the traditional inheritance period, the style integration period, and the return to simplicity period, spanning from the 1980s to the present. The study explores the underlying logic and influencing factors of the evolution of light color tone interfaces, providing insights into the transformation of modern residential interior design in China through the often overlooked perspective of "color."
