It looks fine in the Game window after turning off compression. Thereafter, it didn't seem to matter what the compression level is set at - looked fine. However, it always looks bad in Play mode.

I have noticed this when bringing my project from 2018.3 to 2019.1.0f2 and spotted that there was a lot of colour banding in the skybox.
