Lighting Observation 10

April 13th at 7:31pm, outside of the Student Center, walking past Bill and Alliance halls.
I had been walking back from dinner with one of my friends, and I noticed that the sky had a really interesting color scheme going on that night.
Ok, so there’s this book, called Mistborne, or something like that. Anyway, I’ve never read it, but the cover has this really pretty color schematic of these purples and pinks blending in to one another. That was essentially what the sky looked like. It was this beautiful blend of purples and pinks, with just a hint of an orangey-yellow sprinkled in. The colors were streaked in a repeating pattern, so it went purple, pink, orangey-yellow, pink, purple, and repeat. It was partially obscured by the dorm building and a few trees in the way, but because of the sky’s color, as well as the fading light for the day, these things were all cloaked in shadows, making them appear black. I’m pretty sure that part of why they appeared this way was because none of these objects were in the direct path of the fading sunlight, but the contrast reminded me, again, of a YA fantasy over.
