In the daytime, the sky is blue because blue light scatters in all directions, while red light scatters very little. Therefore, we see blue light hitting our eyes from all directions, while red light only hits our eyes from the direction of the Sun.
In the evening, the sky turns red because the Sun is at an extreme angle, and there is much more air between you and the Sun. There is so much air, in fact, that all the blue light scatters and never makes it to your eyes. Only the red light makes it, and the small amount of scattering that red light does is enough to dimly light the sky a reddish color.
During this transition, the sky may adopt a gold color.

Because maybe you live in an area whose atmosphere is polluted and full of dust. I suggest you move from there. You should move from there.
