INTENDED FOR GAME VERSION 1.32

The sun color is responsible for the yellow tint during the day. Therefore I tried to balance out the colour of the sun during the day by making it a more neutral, whiter shade without tweaking vanilla values too far. I have also reduced the saturation roughly by half to make scenes look more natural. I have left all other settings at their vanilla value, only the sun color during the day and saturation is affected (vegetation color effected as of version 1.2!!). I have made changes only to commonly encountered environments from the main open-world areas of the game, so quest specific areas should remain as they are (except the minor reduction in saturation during most cutscenes). This mod does not remove the tinting added on top for each area (i.e. blue in Novigrad and yellow in Velen)! It is vanilla lighting minus the overly yellow sun and oversaturation. Toussaint remains unaltered.

Specifically what I did was I subtly increased the blue value and reduced the red value of the sun color and then reduced saturation by half. I know almost nothing about color grading or anything of that kinda thing so...here you go! Hopefully it's okay.

This mod was inspired by Filterless Toussaint and Environment Calibration!
