When the sun is full, there is not a single cloud in the sky, the color of the sky will be celestial, although, it oscillates between orange and red at the request of dawn and dusk; at night, the coloration turns dark, rather a dark blue, which on direct observation appears even black.
When the clouds cover it completely because a storm is approaching, it has a characteristic leaden gray coloration, which causes a certain sadness in the minds of the people, for example, it is that the very blue sky is so precious by most of the people Because in it life is perceived, it is associated with it, with something pleasant, let's say.

And there is also a reverse side, a dark, despicable, and very dangerous place, such as hell, to which it is said that people who behaved badly in life, who sinned, who did not repent and who were not close to go. God.
