Changes in lighting and atmospheric conditions will change how things look when you photograph them
Please explain what is happening then. The colors of the ship clearly are not being washed out by the sun, considering that it is in shadow.
Personally, my completely speculative guess is that
something like this is happening. The Earth is acting like the styrofoam. The Earth and the atmosphere are reflecting and scattering lots of light; so, when Orion is nearer to the ground, it's being illuminated from many incident angles all around it. Like the orange in my link, Orion gets dimmer as it moves away from a reflective light source: the Earth. Since rockets kind of tend to move around a lot, those incident angles are probably constantly changing, much like the woman in the lighting video.
I can't really know any of this for sure because I have so little information (not to mention virtually no expertise in photography). Neither of us can do anything better than guess at where the sun is, how high the craft is, the properties of the camera, the properties of the material being photographed, etc. That information is necessary to determining if the photograph is "correct" or not.
All of that said, I've already demonstrated my point: lighting changes how an object appears in a photograph, and the lighting in the OP images has certainly changed. Rockets move around a lot, and they alter their orientation to the sun constantly. By definition. They wouldn't work as orbital rockets if they didn't.
Why do you not take seriously the onus to demonstrate and explain your argument? The OP just posts two photos and says "Look at the paint job of the rocket when it is low to the ground...compared to what the rocket looks like when it is up in space around a round earth." That's it. I assume you're saying that it isn't possible for these two photos to look different in this way, but you never explain why that's the case. You don't explain anything. How similar should they appear? How do you know? How then was this scene made? CGI, models, both, neither? Can such a mistake be rationally explained? Please explain what is happening.
