What is a light cyan screen?
A light cyan screen is simply a web page filled edge to edge with one solid color — Light Cyan, hex #E0FFFF, or rgb(224, 255, 255). It is a very light, cool color: in HSL it sits at 180° hue, 100% saturation and 94% lightness, and its relative luminance is 94.6%. light-cyan is one of the standard CSS color names, so it renders identically in every browser.

What people use a light cyan screen for
Because Light Cyan is so light, a light cyan screen doubles as a soft light source: prop a phone or tablet beside you as fill light on a video call, use it as a gentle reading light, or as a backlit surface for tracing.
Cyan screens light the green and blue sub-pixels together while leaving red off, which makes them a precise diagnostic for a dead or weak red sub-pixel. Cyan also reads as cool, clean and watery, so a gentler shade works nicely as ambient or aquarium-style lighting and as a fresh photo or video backdrop.
As a test pattern, a flat light cyan field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red, green and blue sub-pixels.
