So there's a scene in my book I'm writing where the main crew goes to the big bad's lair. The catch is the big bad's lair is a giant tower that turns everything a hundred miles away from it from night to day.
Light is also how we see color. The peel of an apple is red because the red wavelength in light reflects off the peel while everything else passes through. The reason the sky is blue is because blue wavelengths of light scatter more than the other colors, turning the sky blue during the day while at night, without light, wee see the sky as it truly is. Pretty much just space.
So, for a cool visual, I'm wanting to describe the light from the tower turning the sky from above it blue while everything else is the natural space since the scene takes place at night. Clouds are pretty much unable to be seen until they cross the line into the blue spot in the sky caused by the tower's light.
What I'm wondering is if that would make since scientifically. I don't see any issue in it myself, but I'm not exactly a light expert. I know the basics of light and color, but not the nuances. Anyone with more understanding of this than me here that can tell me if I'm overthinking or if it would just turn the sky blue.
