I think when they added more yellow is when the sky started to look ‘not so good’. The sky should be darker. It is haze that brightens up a sky and there is no global haze to give us a constantly varying sky. It’d be nice. and you’re right about reflections being seemingly brighter than the sun itself. they glare more. The sun just sits there like a ball of brightness but the reflections are dynamic. Clouds don’t have any dynamic reflections at all anymore that I can see. They need to adjust their colors. If the sky was darker by default, the clouds could be made more reasonable colors and still look good. Asobo always starts with the notion that ‘light enters a cloud and then’ … but when a cloud is just forming, it nearly matches the sky. Most clouds start out dark until they are dense enough to start reflecting really well. Dynamic sun, dynamic reflections – I could swear it all used to be there… before… SU7? SU5?
