I'll think about it. I haven't done any shots with the shuttlecraft, so I'm still at a point where I can scrap the entire Nimbus III sequence without setting me back more than three or four shots.

But my main reasoning was that I wanted to differentiate the different worlds of the movie with different color schemes. Earth is done very standard - just the black backdrop and the stars, some blue light coming from the planet's atmosphere. The planet inside the Barrier is very blue. And Nimbus III I chose orange. I felt it gave it more of an alien feel to it, and that rather than just have it be a trick of the atmosphere or an orange star, it's light reflecting from orange space clouds surrounding the system. I've also subtly added red and blue light reflecting on the ships in the regular black background shots which I think really help fill the shots even though you can barely see it.

But other than Nimbus III, most of the shots are your standard black space with stars - save the shots inside the Barrier, which are lots of fluffy blue clouds and lightning. I'm still designing those, and I'm not quite happy with what I've come up with, but I think it'll come out looking pretty cool.
