Replace a layer of the pyramid with glowstone every 5 blocks or so (or place over).
As for the floor I’d say it depends largely on what you plan on putting in there. You could have a pathway going through the place, maybe red carpet/wool. And outline that path with a trim block maybe a dark stone or something and add glowstone inset in the trim on the left and right of the carpet every so many blocks, whatever number results in symmetry.

If you’re able/willing to make the walls thicker, you can use the trick with stair pieces instead of blocks and putting a light source in between the two layers. The whole thing will be lit up very bright. Use slabs for the floor and place light sources under.
If you aren’t trying to stay strictly vanilla, you could use the command code to get a light block and put a bunch of those up since they’re invisible unless you’re holding it.

Have you thought about sea lanterns?

Shaders. Minecraft’s lighting system is shit

White stained glass panes and end rods can make for a fun dangly chandelier look. You could sprinkle that around and hang from the ceiling and that way make it both pretty and not have to use full block light sources

If you dont care about staying true to vanilla gameplay you could use lightblocks.

End rods in the corners will more or less blend in. Then you could make a glass floor in the middle with whatever lights you want.

It depends what you want to do with it. If you’re going to build levels or put stuff in it then don’t worry about it, you can integrate the lighting later. If you’re leaving it open, you could either put a lighting block (glowstone, sea lanterns, to soul lanterns, etc) at regular intervals, like every 5th block or whatever fits the size of the pyramid evenly, or you could use Glow Lichen. Lichen doesn’t glow as far, so you’ll need more, but it can stick to any side of a block. The faint glow I find actually works pretty good for the underside of stuff like this.

I would put glowstone in a straight line down all four sides, and then through the floor, maybe in the corners of each side as well? And then have stairs in the spots there isn’t glowstone.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe you could replace some layers of the pyramid with powdered snow. I believe it allows light to go through so you could have daylight indoors while maintaining the whiteness of the pyramid

Powder snow with a non-heat light source like sea lanterns behind it will blend in pretty well with the walls.
