Hello,
Light color of lung lobe on X-ray could be due to consolidation or some change in lung parenchyma. Shortness of breath and sharp pain in upper pain could be due to some pleural pathology. I suggest you to consult your pulmonologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
