Dawn and Dusk Effect via fog.

[Wraithwynd]

I have three triggers: a set up (map initialization) and Dawn and Dusk.

Daytime fog is set at 90% 90% 90% - it gives a very diffuse light gray atmospheric fog. The game Camera is at a distance of 3000 So the Z start and end needs to be a bit wider/larger than with the default camera.

At dusk the fog slowly grows darker, I am attempting to get it to shift into the blue spectrum - giving that 'twilight time' feeling - before shifting to black (night time). I am somewhat satisfied with the dusk coloring.

Dawn I want to shift upward to the light gray, through the red/orange spectrum giving that ruddy 'new day' type glow. I am not satisfied with color of the mid-dawn fog.

Game constants are set:

Time - Dawn 5.50
Time - Dusk 19.50
Time - Real seconds per game day 1200.00

Questions:
1. Currently the dawn color looks too red, how to I set orange by percents?

I understand the concept of 0 to 255 for Red Green blue, and I know that the color orange I want is around 250 red, 185 green and 45 blue around/at mid dawn (it should grow lighter and shift to gray past mid dawn, and shift up from black to orange at early dawn) I do not know how to translate that into percentages and how to work the trigger (below) in order to get a shift through the dawning color change to be (temporarily) this color.

2. Whilst I looked in things that leak, it didn't seem to have a section covering fog - does the use of this much fog leak?

3. Any other errors or suggestions on making these triggers cleaner is appreciated.
