According to current theory, observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift).
If you were an observer on the even horizon of a black hole, you would see the night sky in an unusual way. Stars and galaxies that were far away would be blue shifted. That doesn't mean they would be blue. It means that whatever color they are normally would be seen more toward the blue end of the spectrum.
Objects that had been captured by the black hole, and were accelerating into it would be more and more blue shifted. As the plasma (the acceleration has broken all electrical bonds by now) enters the event horizon at the speed of light, it has lost all frequency of vibration and appears invisible.
Most of the matter is trapped by the black hole but increments the black hole's spin. At a certain size, the spinning disk of the black hole becomes donut shaped and focuses the matter entering from the poles,and shoots it out the other side as one of the largest singular objects in the Universe, a galactic jet.

The condition of being able to stand on a black hole makes the question impossible to answer. The best answer I can think of is that it would be really bright.

Remember in the first Star Wars, when Han Solo put his ship, the Milennium Falcon, into warp speed, and all the stars turned into bright lines aimed right at the ship?
It would be like that, plus sheet lightning. From horizon to horizon, a lot of flashing brightness, as photons got pulled in, never to escape.

You wouldn't see a night sky, as it would be blindingly bright.

Rushing towards you. You better be pretty nimble with quick reflexes.
