Incoming transmission from Professor Awan:
After reviewing a large number of atmospheres since Odyssey’s release, this list is a compilation of some of the most common or exceptional color palettes which I’ve come across. In-game photographs accompanied by atmospheric pressure statistics, surface temperatures, star classes and their distances, I’m working to get a detailed list together so future explorer’s looking for a particular hue on undiscovered worlds can find it all the quicker!
With this list, I hope it will aid you in finding unique atmospheric hues or simply allow you see what colors & chemical combinations are out there. I’ll be adding to this curated list as time goes on with new imagery & more information about each system’s configuration, distances, as well as viewing angles (latitudes/longitudes); but for now, enjoy! o7
