Based on the original Cyanometer (previously
here) invented in 1789 by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, a Genevan geologist, meteorologist, physicist, mountaineer and Alpine explorer, the Cyanometer Postcard is a convenient, updated version. Artist Macarena Ruiz-Tagle created it for the 13th Annual Architecture Venice Biennale. She says "The Cyanometer Postcard captures the nuances of sky blueness at a specific moment, allowing senders to document and share this information with the recipient. Its purpose is to connect individuals globally, embracing contemplation of the sky's beauty across different latitudes."

She has also created a Sunsetometer to gauge the colors of a sunset...it might take a few colors to describe such an event.
And sadly, a Pollutionometer measures the color related to airborne particulates...but apropos of the Northern California coast in my backyard, it
could be used for our nightly refreshing fog.
