Of course. This is post processing. It is not collor or light dynamically created by the game graphics engine. It's like creating a "style" by adjusting your monitor, the only difference is that it doesn't affect other programs. This doesn't really works in a game with dynamic lighting.
This is something that is useful for "styling" screenshots, images, not dynamic games.

Here are some settings that will work at any time of the day.

They're an attempt at getting about as neutral (realistic?) a colour scheme as I could get. All they do is increase the contrast (without blowing out any highlights) and get rid of the yellow-green haze the default game currently has.

I couldn't push the colours any further into the red (or blue) without adding a noticeable tint to everything. The increased contrast cuts down the sun glare and makes the twilight darker, but I don't think it's too bad.

If some of the ground colours still look bad, I think at this point it's not because of the way they're lit but is more due to the colour of the textures themselves, but that's just my opinion.

No pics at the moment.

Well I am Australian so that would be where that error comes from! I've been modifying colours by looking out the window, hence why I prefer darkened trees (an old mod that doesn't work anymore) and brighter sun/colours.
