Are there any other anime with beautiful depictions of light and color like in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End? (infosec.pub)

I absolutely adore the sunlight in Frieren and its medieval-inspired fantasy color palette, so I'm eager to experience something like that again. Are there any other anime with beautiful artwork that could move me? (Since I'm using DeepL, the English might sound unnatural...)

Many good recommendations here already.

I can also list some that have some good scenes:

appocalypse hotel specifically episode 11
most Makoto Shinkai works are very pretty i.e. Suzume no Tojimari
people have already called out Kyoto Animation studios and they consistently deliver some of the most visually captivating shows
I'll also call out Soushimin series it's more understated than Hyouka and Frieren but something about it is always pleasant. The aspect ratio contributes a lot.
Chainsaw man, Reze movie specifically. The fireworks. The pool. The explosions. Much more cinematic than Frieren's fantasy pallette but the color work is perfection.

You’re a genius! I just watched the preview for Episode 11 of Apocalypse Hotel, and this is exactly my thing! It’s not really related to the whole “light” discussion anymore, but I absolutely love that slightly chic, decayed city vibe—like in Tarkov or NieR: Automata. But there just aren’t many beautiful works set in places like that, you know? That’s what I’d been thinking! And about the light—man, it’s perfect. The scene where the sun is tilted in the evening sky, casting warm autumn-like light on the brownish trees, and the scene where someone is looking up at moonlight filtering through the branches—both are absolutely amazing! Some other people have mentioned syoushimin too, and I thought that sounded good as well. Hyouka looks promising too. I saw some images for Chainsaw Man, and it looks beautiful! It's super popular in Japan too, so I knew the name but hadn't watched it. I wonder if I could enjoy it even if I just watched the movie first? Either way, I think the Apocalypse Hotel is the best! Thanks!
