The same as during the day.
It is just that with the sun it looks bright, and
with the moon it looks more darker.
Check when it's full moon, you will see the sky bright.

First you would have to decide what the "sky" is.

When you look upwards during the day you can see what almost everyone calls the sky, and it is usually some shade of blue.

At night you look up and you see darker shades, even black.

The difference is the sunlight pushing through the air above us. Refraction of the sunlight as it passes through the air molecules and any water vapour, smoke, or other particles up there bounce the light around, and all of this creates the colours we see.

Even on a cloudless day, the refraction of light in the air creates sufficient disturbance to our vision that it effectively clouds our vision and we cannot see past it and what we see is called the "sky"


At night you see through the air, and straight out into space.

The angle of the sun, or angle of the sunlight, makes a huge difference in what happens to the amount of refraction, and it determines what you can, and cannot, see through the air. Sometimes you can catch sight of the moon, usually in one of its quarter phases, and usually in the morning, even on a brightly sunlit day.

To see just a little of what happens above you, try going into a totally dark room and then turn on a small flashlight. The beam of the light will show you that there are tiny particles in the air.

That is the amount of particles in the air in your room, and they will always be there, and light will always bounce off them, just as happens in the air above us, but this is just a tiny sample of what is in the miles of air above us, and all of them bounce/reflect some light when the sun shines on them.

No color at all. It's the absence of color. This is because the visible spectrum of color (at the wavelengths we can see) is a direct result of light. Black is literally the absence of all color when we are talking about refraction.

It's only blue during the day since sunlight is refracted to our eyes at that wavelength. That's why the sky can be light blue, dark blue, purple, red, green (in storms), etc... It all depends on the angle of refraction.

Its blue...its just that at night due to abcent of sunlight, it reflects the univer colour at night, thats y we c all the stars, shining in our sky (its not in our sky its the refelect from the outer space!)

None. You must have light to have color since color comes from the spectrum of light. Other than the moon and stars the answer must be that the color of the night sky is clearly,...clear.

Since the color of of the sky depends on the scattering of light waves and there are no light waves to scatter during the night. There would be no color

It most likely is the same color, it just seems darker because the sun is on the other side of the earth. I am not sure though, that is really a guess.
