      I often come to this site to view cloud coverage when I do astrophotography. But, I can't get past the grotesque Sycamore color (#918247). White on Sycamore is a terrible on the eyes and makes it difficult to determine if the opaque gray from the clouds is covering a certain area.

      Please provide additional options for contrasting white clouds from the surface. Also, using the same color for both sea and terrain is such an eyestrain. I would use satellite, but cloud coverage between the clouds option and satellite do not report the same information.

        You can modify the colors of the Clouds layer yourself.
        At bottom of Settings list you find for Clouds:

        You just need to modify the RGB values.

        For example here are my customized colors for the Clouds layer:
