It is possible that the sky would appear to be purple to you. When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The color with the shorter wavelength is scattered more by this collision. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.

the actual color of sky is black, but due to the scattering of light all other colors r being absorbed and just the sky blue color is reflected back on the surface of the earth and the sky appears blue to human eye.
