Having trouble understanding a couple different Strategic ideas

Those being: Color strategies, and pawn breaks

I understand what a weak square is, and how to spot it, and attack it. What I'm having trouble with is when a whole color is weak(so dark squares). Is it as simple as occupying that color and attacking the other? I really don't know what to do. I hear things as a certain player wants to employ a light squared strategy, and I just don't fully understand what that is

And with pawn breaks, I just don't get it. I see videos or read things, where stronger players know exactly where the pawn breaks should be happening, when they should be happening, etc. I know enough that a pawn break will open up a file for a rook. And can be helpful when you're lacking some space I suppose. But in general I just really don't get it.

Maybe they are that simple and I'm trying to complicate it. I just don't know

light square strategy means that you invade with your pieces on the light squares and put them on light squares, normally because your opponent has given away his light squared bishop and is now left with this weak colour complex. For example in the sicilian when black gives away his light squared bishop in some lines then white can try to use the weakened d5 square with a knight and plant in there. It means that he plays on and for the light squares control.

Pawn breaks are methods to isolate and weaken pawns and to open files, normally for your rooks, sometimes also for the b1-h7 diagonal for your bishop. Lets take the fianchetto structure as an example with pawns on f7,g6 and h7. The g6-pawn is defend by 2 pawns here, but he can get attacked by 2 pawns from white: The f-pawn when he moves to f5 and the h-pawn when he moves to h5. That means a pawn can always be attacked by at least one pawn of the opponent and its easier to attack them when they have already moved forward. So the g6-pawn is not only a defender for the black king but also a target for whites pawn storm. Imagine the typical pawn push h4-h5. After white captures on g6 he will not only get the h file but black will also be left with a weaker pawn shield because g6 isnt protected as much as before. That makes some tactics possible. Hope this helped you. Cheers, Till

Think you could explain that more to the middle of the board? I understand how to attack a fianchetto setup(ie, silcilian dragon). Trade off the bishop(weak dark squares, stick a queen and knight there), and march the H pawn(and g/f. to finish off with your rook, maybe sac your own light square bishop if you can).

Or is it really just that simple?

Say a slav defense. e4 break is key, to open up for your bishop.

If in the opening I can get it outside the chain, trading it off isnt so bad, since my pawns are on light squares(for now). I dont think my light squares would be considered all that weak would they?
