Abstract (en)

A refrigerator includes a body having regions partitioned with a thermal insulating wall, a storage compartment provided in one of the regions, an illuminator provided in the storage compartment, and a controller operable to set a temperature of the storage compartment to a plurality of temperature ranges. The illuminator emits light having a plurality of colors. The controller is operable to select color from the colors corresponding to the set temperature range, and to allow the illuminator to emit light having the selected color. This refrigerator allows users to check the internal temperature of each compartment, and thus, to use the refrigerator conveniently.
