the sun - What are the color progression of a typical sunrise?

These steps are in there for credit



I used Stellarium to simulate a sunrise, and took screenshots of the progression. Each screen shot was 2 seconds apart, and stellarium was accelerated to 10 minutes a second.



Then, using imagemagik to crop batch those 13 images with this command:



mogrify -crop 1280 1024 *.png


(those numbers are the size of my screen. I cropped to get rid of my second screen)



Next I put the images into Color Thief and got the pallet of each image. This is the result of those 13 images:





























Those are the colour pallets. You can pick whatever colours you want from them with a colour picker, such as KColorChooser.
