The manual is error about editing your own skies (using CITY.WAD )
You can't just copy out the RAW, change the colour and then put it back. Because the 'colouring of the sky' command is in the script file instead. Also you can edit any levels sky not just City WAD.

Here's what I did.
Get the RAW file from any of the WADs.
Import at 256 x 256.
Make your sky graphic (stars, fire, whatever)
save that back where you got it from.

then in the script file your will notice there is
this command: 'layer1'.
The layer is the colour of the sky.

So for dark blue put this:
layer1= 16,16,64,7

(it's the R/G/B. I don't know that the 4th number does...)

Then make a new script.

there you have it. Your new moving sky.

So here it is again...deja vu or not.

Well, actually my skies worked fine; I tried altering the Layer1-line as you suggested, but this removed the moving clouds at the top of the level. I use StrPix to edit textures beforehand, and TRViewer to edit them after I've compiled a .tr4-file.

I'm in your debt.
