I already answered this question here: Is there a difference between 風景 and 風光？
As for 景色:
「景」 in 「景色」 carries the meaning of 'scene/ sight' -- the picture you see in your eyes, as in 「景物」(sight and things), 「景象」(scene; image)
「色」in 「景色」 carries the meaning of 'color/ appearance' as in 「山光水色」(sight of the mountains and appearance of the water = scenery of mountains and river, lake or ocean )
The term「風光」 generally refers to 'sight/ scene /scenery' (natural or man made)
