A reversible thermochromic composition with light fastness feature comprises (a) an electron-donating color former, (b) an electron-accepting compound represented by Formula I, wherein R1 represents a straight-chain or a branch-chain alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R2 represents an alkyl group, an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group having 1 to 14 carbon atoms, (c) a solvent including an alcohol, ester, ether, ketone, carboxylic acid or acid amide, and (d) a light stabilizer. The reversible thermochromic composition can be encapsulated in microcapsules. Furthermore, the reversible thermochromic compositions undergoes reversible metachromatism at a temperature of -50° C. to 80° C.
