to fix this just make your skybox like normal flip it like normal then go to edit>object properties and when that opens go to the bottom left and check backface Cull in display properties.

Because it shows the planes that you are viewing from the inside as a darker red. Since you can no longer see the closer ones, you see the ones on the other side, so it appears to be turning into a darker red. I know this explanation is kinda confusing, but I don't know how else to say it.

It worked... lol. The dark red is just showing the "shadow"
