Sunsets in Skyrim

Changing the colour palette of a piece can create a dramatic effect, and in games this can be used to enhance an already existing atmosphere, or to create an entirely new one.

A good example of this are the sunsets in Skyrim. Though the landscape does not change at all the feeling and atmosphere of the environment shifts massively whenever a sunset occurs. The Landscape goes from being harsh and wild to still and contemplative, even though the only thing that has happened is that the colour scheme has moved from whites and browns to reds and oranges:
