I think this pull request will dramatically make the sky better (and possibly unique on every server?) and I'm waiting patiently for it to be merged.
Just changing the color won't do much in my opinion, because that other game as noted has shades to the sky.

Agreed.
Which one do you like better?

Lua sky interface is another thing, yes in the current state it is quite limited an needs improvement.
But there's also the default sky color hard coded in the engine, it's wrong hue imo, and I think it's a good idea for it not to be depressive, shades or not.

However colors are quite tricky to do, I already noticed my sky looks too intense on my phone. Sure colors on phones may be cheated for marketing reasons, but probably I should desaturate it a bit further.

Is the water's color unchanged? The color of the water somewhat reflects the color of the sky IRL after all.

Yes, water color is unchanged, I haven't touched it because it comes with MTG. I believe it's wrong hue as well and indeed, ideally it should be related to sky color, but it's a game/mod thing easily changed via custom texpacks.

For now I filled an issue: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9449

Note that this should be done in a way so that water in caves won't be affected by daylight cycles.
If you lack the reality, go on a trip or find a job.

Maybe ideal would be for the sky color to be based on a texture by default rather than a color code. Then texture packs would be able to provide their own matching sky color…

Tehre's always the skybox functionality available, but no-one knows or cares how to handle skybox-related issues.

This is what I was so wanting for my Ambiguity TP as the blue sky just ruins the overall effect.
