Why can't I create any light pollution no matter what I do? The stars wink out when the light pollution is 1000x less bright than the stars. It just feels completely disconnected from what I know light pollution feels like.
If I may make a technical suggestion, accurately representing the "qualia" of what both the presence and absence of colorful light feels like on a monitor requires compressing the color space a bit. Take a gander at this: https://brandonli.net/spectra/doc/
