How it's used
Refers specifically to the colorful clouds illuminated by the sun during sunrise or sunset. It is often used in literary or poetic contexts rather than in casual daily conversation, though it remains widely understood. When people talk about the sky in a more general or casual way, they are more likely to use terms like 晚霞 or 朝霞 to be specific about the time of day.
