Well, it's always orange, day or night (except in the rare case where
said orange clears, I guess).   And that orange is apparently lit, and
therefore visible, even in night.

OTOH, Fenarians and other eastern realms probably think of it as
perpetual twilight -- it's never as bright as full day, or as dark as
full night, with that eerie orange glow all the time.
