You might say something like: The wall was painted a bright fluorescent pink and it cast its reflection on her face, turning it a bright pink, as she entered the room.

The light reflecting from the florescent pink wall illuminated (lit up) her face as she walked in.

Hi AlphecaStars,
Is it correct to use cast somehow?
Maybe something likeThe light reflecting from the pink wall cast a pink light on her face.
Or more simply The pink walls cast a light on her face. Does that imply all that's been said in the long sentence. If one were to say that in a book, what would you think it meant?
What do you think about anon's sentence? is it correct

Anon's phrasing is fine.
I don't care for "cast" - the source of a light; the sun, the moon (I know that moonlight is really reflected light, but traditionally it was the light of the night), a candle, flashlight, etc, can cast light. Walls don't emit (cast) light, they reflect it.
