If I add a blue background to a scene with a grey floor and white sphere I end
up with a pretty blue everything (like so: https://imgur.com/a/w9dF3Q1).
Is there a way to stop this or another way to colour only the sky/background?
Thanks!

You seem to be using radiosity; if so, try adding the keyword gray_threshold (or
grey_threshold) to that part of your scene and use a value greater than the
default of 0.
It will diminish color transference by that amount as a percentage, 0.5 being
50%.

Won't that lessen transference of colours from everything?
The description of background says "Any ray that does not hit an object will be
colored with this color". I'd thought that would mean it's solely a background
color and doesn't interact with the scene.
Is there no way to achieve that effect without changing the way objects in the
scene interact with eachother?

would adding a black/dark "sky_sphere" help?

You may add a large sphere around your scene as follow :
sphere{0 e5 // Very large
pigment{rgb 0.5} // Tweak to your taste
finish{diffuse 0 ambient 0 emission 1}
// Won't be affected by lights nor radiosity
no_image // So that you don't see it directly
no_reflection // So that it don't appears in reflections
no_shadow // Just in case you have any light outside the sphere
hollow // to suppress a warning and allow the use of fog and medias
}

No. The sky_sphere is a background feature the same as background. It
will replace the background anywhere it's not transparent in a way
similar to a layered texture.

Well, it _is_ realistic.
In a scene with a blue sky, you'd usually compensate for this by using a
yellow light source to simulate the sun.
If you don't want realism, use a huge blue sphere instead of a blue
background, and use "no_radiosity" on the sphere.

I strongly recommend against using `gray_threshold`, as it has
unrealistic and probably undesired side effects. Most notably, it will
desaturate nooks and crannies more than open areas.

"Any ray" also encompasses the radiosity sample secondary rays.

I got a better understanding from that one sentence than from the whole
description in the docs. :-) thanks.
