Judging from a lot of commercial flights around 30 to 35 kfeet (not meters...) and with a little meteorological knowledge I think that this depends very much on the weather situation. If you have a saturated, hazy layer of warmer air (but no clouds) with a cold layer sitting on top you can have a "drastic" change by the look of it, maybe with a very thin horizontal cloud layer in between on the boundary.
I've seen almost every nuance on these flights, also a very dark blue sky which was disputed elsewhere and shot a lot of pictures of these topologies. What I have never experienced on that height is seeing stars in the middle of the day.
I think what is unnatural in Il2 about the sky is that it is a little too dark for the simulated altitude and - that it is always the same :-)
Cheers,
Mark
