It would be cool if you could do this.

Second post seems to have most of important information, also says it should be easy to implement. Thanks for your time regardless if you do it or not.

Not to bug you but did you check into this? I understand that you have other stuff to do though.

Yep. As I said, I'm done with developing for tonight though.
It's in a sort of "queue" of things that I wanna get done, as I'm still trying to get one of my other mods ported back to SMAPI.
Basically, if it has a label, I've looked into it, at least somewhat.

Alright thanks appreciate the response.

This is to do with the games ambientLight and eveningColor scaling factor.
In UpdateGameClock(), the game checks if it's "starting to get dark" or "truly dark", and applies a scaling factor based on that, first, then it modifies outDoorLight based on ambientLight or eveningColor, depending on if it's raining or not.

tidbits here,
for truly dark:
Code:
if (Game1.timeOfDay >= Game1.getTrulyDarkTime())
{
int num = (int)((float)(Game1.timeOfDay - Game1.timeOfDay % 100) + (float)(Game1.timeOfDay % 100 / 10) * 16.66f);
float scale = Math.Min(0.93f, 0.75f + ((float)(num - Game1.getTrulyDarkTime()) + (float)Game1.gameTimeInterval / 7000f * 16.6f) * 0.000625f);
Game1.outdoorLight = (Game1.isRaining ? Game1.ambientLight : Game1.eveningColor) * scale;
}
for evening:
Code:
else if (Game1.timeOfDay >= Game1.getStartingToGetDarkTime())
{
int num2 = (int)((float)(Game1.timeOfDay - Game1.timeOfDay % 100) + (float)(Game1.timeOfDay % 100 / 10) * 16.66f);
float scale2 = Math.Min(0.93f, 0.3f + ((float)(num2 - Game1.getStartingToGetDarkTime()) + (float)Game1.gameTimeInterval / 7000f * 16.6f) * 0.00225f);
Game1.outdoorLight = (Game1.isRaining ? Game1.ambientLight : Game1.eveningColor) * scale2;
}

An SMAPI mod that changes the eveningColor based on the season like the game itself does would probably be a quick fix, winter looks alright, but could be a tinge darker or so, it uses these values for the
RGB:
Code:
Game1.eveningColor = new Color(245, 225, 170);
