As a matter of fact- you can. It’s true that a lot of these models only come in wickers that are darker colors like deep brown or black. If you wanted to make it a little light to match the theme of your outdoor space, painting them is pretty easy. You cannot use regular paint that you would buy by the gallon. You will need to buy a special kind of spray paint that is found where ever you buy your regular paints. There is no need to worry about finding this special kind of spray paint because it is pretty common. Also, painting the wicker will not damage the UV protective coating that it may or may not have on it.
