Too much blue in the shadows of clouds

[Red_Pilot]

If you use the usual settings, this is not very noticeable. But for me, the picture in the DCS is too pale, I increase saturation. This can be done simply in the Nvidia settings or using reshade. And then the blue tint of the clouds becomes too noticeable. For example, I would expect to see such gray clouds in the sky

But in the game you see dark areas of the cloud not gray but gray-blue

Note that I have not changed the color ratio, only saturation is enhanced here. Then, in order for the clouds to become properly gray, I reduced the saturation of ONLY BLUE COLOR and that's what happened.

If there were no blue color in the clouds, they simply would not have changed

Again, the same thing to make the clouds realistic: at first, just with increased saturation

null

then reduction of excess blue color in clouds:

I understand that at a certain state of the atmosphere, a blue shade may prevail, but in our case, clouds are ALWAYS with a blue shade, which seems too exaggerated

The paleness of the image can be countered by lowering the gamma setting. The increase in saturation you did messed up the clouds.

Color values are not exclusively fixed by saturation and in some cases worsened.

Bottom images: No color tweaks, no color grading active on DCS, gamma 2.2. The blues on clouds seems adequate to the daylight.

Noticing the colors of nature is wonderful! It's great that you're observant enough to notice the abundance of blue in the shadows of clouds.
