In contrast, the yellow color of the cloud's top results from reflection of light from a not-yet-setting Sun, where some -- but less -- blue light is being scattered away.
Ok, this seems to be implying that the red bottom color is ALSO due to blue light being reflected away. If so, why is more blue light reflected away lower down than in the upper clouds?
