Gray on more gray is going to be tricky as well though, especially when you've got partly cloudy vs cloudy. What if the wind was a bit more monochromatic? Wind is invisible, so it only really has shapes that are associated with how it moves around objects to represent it. Perhaps we can use darker colors for lighter backgrounds and lighter colors for darker backgrounds then? Here's an idea for an alternate shape type, but you don't have to use it: F7571622: Screenshot_20191011_041547.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F7571622>
  
  
  I think cyan is an appropriate choice considering that people tend to associate air with shades of blue, even if air is transparent and that's just the colour of the sky. The shade could be changed if necessary, but I personally think it looks fine.
