The colours associated with Sunsets are purely down to the state of the atmosphere locally. Large amounts of dust, following a volcanic eruption for example, will increase the amount of atmospheric scattering, resulting in more dramatic colour.
Also the angle of the Sun makes with the horizon will also make a difference. Equatorial regions are favoured here since the Sun will make the steepest angle and hence set quicker.

Sunsets DO vary geographically.
In areas where there is more particulate matter in the atmosphere to the west, sunsets are spectacular. The most beautiful sunsets I have seen are in Salt Lake City, which has 2,000 miles of desert to the west. During the day, wind picks up dust and lofts it into the atmosphere, making for a lovely show in the evening: red, orange, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, green; it's wonderful.

Actually, the best sunsets are usually where there is the most moisture and pollution in the air.
