But my first thought was Wow!!!
That is *precisely* the trap to avoid.
TGC fell right into it and the game looks like it takes place in fantasyland (or as I called it "Sunset Orgasm"). Over pumped skies, nitrogen doused lime green grass, etc, etc
I spend a ton of time looking at sky color stuff tweaking my XPX and P3D flight sims with RealTerraHaze and ReShade (respectively) and it's so easy to think the world and settings are far more saturated than they really are in tons of scenarios.
Morning skies are blue, but not usually that dark of a blue and when they are that blue it lasts a very short period of time before the sun is severely lightening up all the sky shades.
There's a reason so many photos try to hit the AM/PM golden hour times....it's saturated, well balanced, and doesn't last long at all.
Finally - it's way beyond the purview of PG, but of course all of this is very impacted by location, weather, season, air quality, etc, etc.
