Again; if you could measure the sky as an image.



Think of it as a texture. What size the image should be to texture it all? To cover the whole sky.

Every image seen on a monitor uses pixel blending. Let's say that you are looking at a red ball in real life. Using the 'color picker' from photoshop in real life you pick a color from it. That is 53% red. Next you pick another speck next by it. That is 56% red. Assuming that these are 'true color values'; ergo they are the color of an atom-sized area, a computer monitor would blend those two spots together into a 54,5% red because there isn't enough pixels on your screen to have two small areas of 53% red and 56% red.

Obviously there isn't a computer monitor which can do the above - it was merely a bad example of me trying to describe it.

Your question becomes diffuse, because there is a difference in what kind of colors exist in the real world/how well can a computer monitor mimic that to fool the eye/how well do we percieve the 'real colors' of the world. Consider this for you question:

- At what resolution does the human eye see the sky? Is it enough to show the sky at the same resolution of a human viewing the sky, or are you asking for a computer monitor to behave like the real world.
- Can pixel blending be used to fool the eye
