A roof assembly for covering an opening in a vehicle roof comprises a transparent panel and a lighting assembly. The lighting assembly comprises an illumination pattern arranged on the transparent panel. The illumination pattern comprises at least one low-density pattern element. Such low-density pattern element comprises a light-scattering area and transparent areas. The transparent areas are enclosed within the light-scattering area. A surface area of the light-scattering area of the low-density pattern element is smaller than a sum of a surface area of the enclosed transparent areas.
