    Hi,

    In Unity 5.0.0b13 changing the RenderSettings.ambientLight color with C# actually changes the Render Settings -> Environment Lighting -> Equator Color and keeps Ambient Color unchanged.

    I found a workaround changing Ambient Intensity with RenderSettings.ambientSkyboxAmount.

    Bug reported.

    Cheers.

    For anyone dealing with this in the future (currently in b18), RenderSettings.ambientLight now changes the equator color for some reason as mentioned in this post.

    Instead of using RenderSettings.ambientLight, use RenderSettings.ambientSkyColor. Though I still think this should be fixed as it sort of causes compatibility issues with projects started in older versions of Unity.
