There is, but see below:

Exactly. Sunlight is a lot more blue (or less red) than artificial
light. The human eye adapts to these differences, but film - or povray -
cannot. Therefore you need different films for indoors and outdoors to
get lighting, which "looks right". Similarly, would need different
settings in povray to simulate the adaptation of the human eye to
different lighting.
