Abstract

A home appliance includes a cabinet having a space and a door configured to open and close the space. The door includes a lighting device including a light source and a base on which the light source is installed, and a front plate defining a front appearance of the door, in which light irradiated from the light source passes through the front plate. When the light source is turned on, the light source irradiates light with a second color, and when light with the second color passes through the front plate, the front plate glows with a first color different from the second color.
