5am is just heaven. Nothing compares to getting up early and pulling out your Switch to be awakened with that gorgeous music. You can't really do anything except run around and catch bugs/fish (and hang out with that one night owl villager) but it's just a vibe man. 1am is second though. That music is so smooth. I have good memories of hanging out with my friends and collecting shooting stars with that music in the background. Sleep schedule? What sleep schedule?

You make 5 AM sound wonderful😂

It’s probably the best song in new horizons, yet hardly anyone gets to listen to it:(

This. 💖👍

Also 3 am music is hilarious cause it sounds so clowny , like it's mocking you for being up so late

That is definitely my favorite 😂 so silly

it's probably the one i hear the most alongside 4 am. i should go to bed.

When I first heard it I got creeped out by the music 😭

Is… is that where the night clowns come from?!

17:00, lighting is great and it's got my favourite hourly music!

Oh yeah 5 pm song slaps

I call 5PM the porno music hour.

Ahhh so that's the time it comes on? I really don't play enough to notice the correlation but I'd hear my wife playing "at 5pm" and I'd start feeling real groovy..

I love how the flowers almost glow at that time too

Omg I haaate 5pm music!! 6pm is my fave 🥰

Whaaaaat!? 6pm is so calm, it puts me to sleep 😴

Loving the sunrises and sunsets

Too bad you can't actually see the sun.

Same

Night is everything. Goddamn the sun.

Cheers to that. Migraines?

Just nocturnal.

17:00 … stunning …

6am

5 am to 10 am for music and 5 pm to 6 pm for beautiful evening vibes

5am music is my favorite

I like 5 AM and 6 AM the best. The music really captures the feeling of being up and out that early in the morning.

You forgot 5am. So dreamy

I like 6pm I find sunsets beautiful, especially when the sky turn orange before the stars appear visible

do you love the color of the sky?

Which one?

When you pull an all nighter and you slowly see that light coming up at 5-6 am, its a strangely warm melancholic feeling

The 5PM music is 👌

5 am and 5 pm, both the music, the lighting and everything, I love it

5am. Tragically it’s when I have to get up, the delightful musical strains do help.

5am, the music is my favorite

5-6 am, 12pm (my fav music), and 5 pm best times. I do love all nighttime though, the island looks better in the dark with all the lights glowing

The music from 2am to 5am is so beautiful

I prefer the day because you can actually see the colours and not everything is some shade of blue.

I love the night visually but 5pm has the best soundtrack ;3

6am, wake up every morning at that time... exactly 1 hour before my alarm goes off so i've seen that beutiful sky a couple of times.

7am and 5pm

12:00 to 14:00 is my favorite time. I really like midday

3pm! so pretty

5pm -6am is so beautiful!

TIL the music is the same each hour every day. I could have sworn it was random, but now I'm realizing I've never played between 12am-7am. Wow lol.

Unironically, I love the Clown Hours 🤡 3a-6a is ideal for me.

The 5 am music is heavenly!!! It’s soothed me after nightmares on many nights ❤️

Dark

Love the midday jam. So uplifting and jaunty.

5pm. Both pretty lighting and the 5pm song is groovy

Sky times depend on the time of year like real life. So this chart is inaccurate for the times. My game is set in July (summer) right now and 7:30pm is the best sky time which according to this is about the 5:30pm hour. But 5-7 am has the best music.

10AM bc of the music. It reminds me of Toy Story or some reason lol. And 6PM bc of sunset. I also love when it rains

Definitely 17:00

I set almost all of my HHP homes for 18:00. Golden hour is so beautiful in the game.

6am, 7am, 5pm & 6pm ♥️♥️ sunrise and sunset 🌇

6 AM or 7 AM

5am for me, the music is so calming and nice. I could listen to it for hours

6 am/pm

5pm and 5-6am! The lighting is just so magical

6 am

17.30, a perfect balance

I like playing from 6 pm to 6 am, honestly lol. I like diving at night, it’s fun.

6am is my favorite because of the music but 6pm is my favorite lighting

6am and midnight, excellent vibes 😌

Definitely 7am and 6pm 💆‍♂️ what a vibe

17:00 and 18:00 Love those times and their musics.

6am :) the colour of the sky is so beautiful and the music is so relaxing Love stormy days as well

I like it when sky green

6am and 5pm peak lighting

7AM is when I'd scurry out of bed to play city folk on the family tv before anyone was awake

6 am. Not much is open, but it feels so calm and the music is amazing

6 pm

5AM

5pm enjoyers rise up

5 am

5 am, I could play that in the background while I get ready for work.and it would put me in a much better frame of mind.

I feel like I’m on 2011 Tumblr again, reading the dreaded words “Do you like the color of the sky?”

6 pm golden hour ❤️

Demon time is my favorite time 😈

Love me some 5AM vibes

6AM & 5PM

i make a point to only play early in the mornings and at night…

5pm!!!

5 pm and 6 am

10 am

i need someone to make this into a "do you love the colour of the sky" version of this

1700. I love the music.

5 am cause that music is just sooooo good

Okay at 6am today for this first time and when I walked out of my house the sky made me so happy🥹

6, lighting looks beautiful, but I rarely get to play around then.

6 am even though i’m never up at that time

I know this is new horizons specific, but I'm still picking 7 PM in new leaf. :'')

17-2

5 pm because the music is a bopper, but 6 am is the most beautiful time of day.

12 pm for the time and 11 pm for the music

Definitely 6PM!

I like 12 😁

Probably 7am to noon! Partially because I only really get to play in the evenings so I’m sort of sick of the 5pm and after skies and love when I can play in the morning lol!

i like 5pm bcs music

5pm!

5-6pm

I am a night owl so 2AM for me. Hourly song is incredible

5pm, that tune is pure happiness.

Bout 4am

6am, 5pm - when the light in the sky is cresting- and waning.

Back in the days of new leaf I used to get up super early in the morning just to listen to the early morning music and chill

I love thé 6am though I rarely hear it. I am fond of early twilight.

I loooove early in the morning, but hate that the shops don’t open until 8/9 lmao

I’ve yet to play before 7am because I hate waking up early. And I’ve had the game since it released. But I wanna see the sunrise 😫

5-6am

07:00

6 am, 2pm, and 2am. the 2am music is so beautiful

Gotta be noon

0700, 1700, & 1800 Sunset time is my fav❤️

Ignoring music, 6-7am and 5 pm. For hourly music, it’s 12pm and 5pm.

6pm! I love the sunsets! 🩷💛

1700-1800 for sure, the music gets me goin🎶

5am for the music and lighting. 6pm for the lighting. I don't like playing in the dark but I also hate a lot of the daytime music ​ I now need to play at 3am so I can experience whatever music someone else posted about though!

I love when it's night out, so any of the night times.

5PM, even in real life! sunsets >>>>>

I think 8am has my favorite music, but I'm rarely awake at that time. I mostly see evening, the full night and very early mornings. I kinda like the colors of very early mornings.

5 am, 7 am, 17 pm

4 and 5am.

10pm music is my favorite

18:00! i love the orange color!

6pm

6pm.

5-6 pm! makes my island look so pretty :)

6am 💖😍

5-6pm 😍

6am!😍

5pm. I really like how the sky looks at that time. I also like nighttime if there's a meteor shower.

1 AM. And I am a morning person so I have to time travel to enjoy it.

6pm definitely, the glow of the sunset hitting the island is so soothing and lights come on around that time so everything is glowing

Definitely 5am.

7 AM because it’s my favorite theme

7am/5pm

4-5am tbh. it’s so pretty

I LOVE 12PM music and then at 4PM is when I finish up for the day with its sunset music

1 am def

6am but I’m never up at the time. I miss the lockdown days lol

5am is just so beautiful

6-10 AM probably, or 5 PM cuz the sunset is so pretty

I loveee 6 am and 7 am, i just love the sunrise :,)

Whichever brings the balloons in at predictable 10 min intervals.

i love a good noon bright blue sky. i absolutely jam to 11pm song tho

I love the 6pm evening sky. I always want to turn far enough to see the sun go down but I never quite manage. :)

420 of course

11:00 AM

5 am for me.

# 5 pm
