It also fixes the overly white fogs during rainy weather and storms seen in certain sky colours.
Compatibility:
This mod is incompatible with other mods that modify DAYSKYCOLOURS. MBIN for the main file and DUSKSKYCOLOURS. MBIN for the sunset/sunrise add-on.
If updating from the old "_Natural_Blue_Yellow_Teal Sky.pak" or "_Natural_Blue_Sky.pak", ensure that these are removed before using new

For No Man's Sky players who want a more grounded, natural sky palette without overhauling the entire atmosphere. Perfect if you're tired of neon-bright skies and prefer subtle realism. Skip if you're happy with the default look or use other sky mods that conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Before installing, delete any old '_Natural_Blue_Yellow_Teal Sky.pak' or '_Natural_Blue_Sky.pak' files from your MODS folder to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using the sunset/sunrise add-on, make sure no other mod modifies DUSKSKYCOLOURS.MBIN, or you'll get visual glitches.
- Test in different weather conditions (rain, storm, clear) to see the fog fix in action.
