And what is the correct WB for a blue sky?

A Laurence-type answer, but in 2 words rather than one,  [lol]

"It depends" or 3 words "Consider the illuminant"

I should asked a less terse question, sorry. If I point my cam directly at a clear blue sky and don't care about anything else in the scene, then what is the correct WB? It's a similar question to one I posted long ago elsewhere about watch luminous paint shot in the dark or a single traffic light in the dead of night. There were some quite varying opinions about that.

A semi-serious question but I used to those kind of watch pictures quite often and - me being me - I just had to ask. Not really a question for here, anyways - more for the technical cognoscenti, eh?
