Alright ... so the shuttle, orbiting a measly 17,500 miles above the daylit surface of the Earth gets enough light to render the color blue. What about an X-wing passing under a red gas giant, or dogfighting over a gray metal sphere? I think we've usually seen starships within the well-lit band where habitable planets lie, but I do wonder to what extent nearby celestial objects would influence their coloring.
