Yea, of course you can exchange those words, say for instance
{qaStaHvIS tlhom jIQong} "I sleep during dusk."
or
{yIvbeH chum vIghaj} "I have a colorful shirt."

I asked Maltz for sunset in the context of what humans enjoy, saying 
"oh, look at that beautiful sunset". That's probably the reason why it's 
{chum} "colorful" and not just the astronomical event.
