* Granite: This is the most common type of light-colored igneous rock found in continental crust. It is characterized by its coarse-grained texture and high content of quartz and feldspar.
* Rhyolite: This rock is similar to granite but has a fine-grained texture.
* Syenite: A light-colored igneous rock with a lower quartz content than granite and a higher content of alkali feldspar.
* Granodiorite: A rock that is intermediate in composition between granite and diorite (a darker igneous rock).
* Quartz Monzonite: A rock with a composition similar to granodiorite, but with a higher content of quartz.
Therefore, it's important to be specific when describing a light-colored igneous rock found in continental crust. "Granite" is a good general term, but if you have more information about the rock's composition, you can use a more precise term.
