Chromatic Skies is now updated for Visions 1.77!



Chromatic Skies attempts to restore the Atlas Rises era sky color palettes as well as a few other fixes. As of NEXT, only the first 5 colors of the sky color palettes are used.





INSTALLATION



It is recommended to install all ChromaticSkies packages for the full experience but at minimum, only ChromaticSkies.Fix is required to allow the game to use more than 5 color palettes. ChromaticSkies.Fix will also work for other custom sky color palettes.



It is recommended to delete your SHADERCACHE before running Chromatic Skies.

ChromasticSkies.DuskPalette
