Compare Enlgish "OF the same colour". Or "... of gold".

You can also say "моя шляпа голубая" (my hat is light blue).
About differences between "Какой цвет/Какого цвета" and "красного/красный":
Какого цвета ...? - Красного. It's like a question, but without an object (what is the color of the hat? - Red). Here is used Родительный падеж - Кого? Чего? "красного цвета".
Какой цвет? - Красный. An object here is not necessery (what is the color? - Red).
And here is Именительный падеж - Кто? Что? "красный цвет".
I hope it will be useful :)

It´s "красного" because it´s genitive case, same goes for the question "какого цвета". The case is dictated by the type of relationship the words have when they are used together (согласование, управление, примыкание), which, in this particular situation, is управление and takes genitive case for this combination of words.

"light" is not "цвет"
"light" is "свет"
"цвет" is "color"
