      That’s how shit looks after it burns. You ever seen a campfire? And cloud cover or smoke filters daylight which actually reveals a lot of natural color. Think about what your town looks like on an overcast day vs a clear one.

        Also, a lot of ashes falling everywhere makes everything look grey.

      The image below has enough hints of color that I think it’s a color image, too. I guess there’s so much smoke in the air that the sunlight is getting filtered and everything looks grey.

      I guess a lot of it is due to the unclear sky, there still is a lot of smoke visible in the bottom picture. Direct sunlight makes the colours more vibrant, whereas grey sky will also reflect on the sea greyish. It’s always possible they might also have helped a bit with a filter.

      Here are clearer, more close-up pictures:
