Is grass better brightened by light?

I wanted to use a brighter grass texture for this extensive map I am doing, but I was wondering if it would be easier to add lights to brighten the texture rather than finding a bright one. I honestly never messed with the light system on the source engine, so it'll be new to me. I really like the the pl_swift and arena watchtower grass and I don't know if those were made with lights or set like that.
