Colours upgraded somehow?

Get back to this topic, but for something good!
Did blizzard somehow hear our cries?
I don't know if everybody paid attention, but I think we had a revamp on some colours of the game.
I won't be talking to much, see by yourselves.

Last week (looks to be the same place):

Well... It's something, isn't it?
Anyway, just point it out.|||I'm not so sure it is a matter of color so much as a matter of different weather. In the first pic it is clearly raining and foggy, giving it less contrast and a more "washed-out" effect. In the second pic it is sunny and the contrast, brightness, and depth-of-field is much greater. It would be nice if they did color it up a bit, but I don't think these pics really make the case.|||the second screenshot is not from last week... but from the Followers announcement. Yes, the graphics have been worked on like any other game over its development cycle... I am actually sad to see the rain and rainbow missing from the more recent screenshot, I think it added a lot of ambiance to the place. Hopefully their absence is a result of randomness alone.|||looks a lot better! look at the detail in the backdrop.|||I think it's just that the game is much more polished now than it was three years ago.|||

Its worth pointing out that those 2 pictures are from 2 different sections of the map the darker picture must be from elsewhere.|||

Why do you say that? It just so happens that they are most probably from the exact same place... but that is merely the agree-upon estimated guess, would love to hear your reasons to disagree :)|||

They are different pictures, sure the style of bridge is the same, but the ground is different and the end of the bridge is different just take a close look at it.|||

It's called development and iteration.|||

I see the same... and we know from other screenshots and videos that both come from the same terrain layout with some dais to the upper right corner of the screen if the Characters were to backtrack to the beginning of the bridge... around 3 years separate the two screenshots... I think the environment has just evolved during that time.
But please, Blizzard, I cannot stress this enough, bring back the rain, lightning, rainbow and the lonely banner/flag on the side of the bridge... they add so much to the place dynamic.|||i love the changes and im happy to see that the weird rainbow is gone|||There were some graphical changes; the red stripe along the side of the bridge is gone, etc.
As far as colors go though:

I would say exactly this. It makes sense the cloudy weather would put a gray wash over everything, and you can't see the full backdrop in the 1st screenshot because of the fog. Likewise a sunny day would have a more dirt-colored hue, which is shown in the second screenshot.

There's nothing to bring back because they aren't gone.

Again, it's not gone. If you look at the most recent video, the artisan video on the new website, the rainbow is still there in the waterfall. It looks awesome, as always.|||there two different places maybe in the same act but different take a close look and you'll see that their two different bridges|||

Same bridge just different aesthetics. Note the crumbled sections of the bridge, especially the lower portion where even the way the tiles are hanging on are nearly identical. Also they both feature the feet-broken-from-statue where the left foot is broken by the ankle and the right one is at least half way up the calf.
Sure the details are different but the main parts of the bridge are the same.|||I didn't like the latest videos and screenshots, well I guess that's why.
The first screenshot is by far my favorite. Look at the bridge's details, seems to be too much bloom in the second one.
