(meteorobs) color of night sky
I was very interested in Kim Youmans comments as an artist about the color
of the night sky. Though I no longer paint I have some experience in that
field. You do not normally notice color unless it is very spectacular such
as a sunset for example. You normally even dream in black and white unless
color is the subject of the dream. For years I saw the color of the
shadows in the gullies on the mountains above my house as a neutral dark
gray until I had my cataracts removed and now they appear a distinct blue.
After all they are illuminated by the blue sky. It is a rare person that
would ask the question of what is the color of the night sky because it is
so subtle. The answer I am sure is in the eyes of the beholder and the
condition of their eyes.
