It didn't really make sense then either. No sky looks like television static. Jeff Minter's Polybius game pokes fun at it by showing the text "The sky was the colour of television tuned to a dead channel" -- before thrusting you into a level that literally had a static sky.

If you'd like to be literal about it, dense snowfall, perhaps?

Anyway, the point, I think, was that it shouldn't look like any sky today, but rather like a futuristic sky.
