Aren't clouds infinitely variable in colour, shape and size?

The terrain is either not being shown in its full glory or maybe we're just not used to the way it looks.
On trawling through older screenshots, here's one of a Hurri in SoW and one of a Spit in IL2 on the map discussed earlier.
Personally, I much prefer the more realistic 'washed out' colours in SoW, including the camouflage on the Hurri, but I can't put my finger on what it is about the landscape detail that seems amiss.
And before anyone jumps on my back, I don't think there's anything wrong and I'm not complaining, I'm sure the final result will be excellent.
I'm interested in people's opinions of the relative attributes. I only ever fly IL2 and FSX so haven't got anything more recent to compare to. I'm completely ignorant of the technicalities too!
Thanks.
