<p>I know a few different resources for determining the colour of a world's sky depending on its star and atmospheric pressure, but I haven't been able to find anything for how it would look from space (same thing for clouds).

there might be some helpful information in answers or links at [What color is the Sky on other Planets?](https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/q/29247/7982) and [Terrestrial Exoplanet Skies – I've Built a Visual Sky Chart. Is it Accurate?](https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/q/24048/7982)
