The color of the sky is due to the color spectrum.remember ROYGBIV?from higher wavelength to lower wavelength.during sunrise, red,orange, yellow and green which have higher wavelengths will be absorbed by our atmosphere and shorter wavelengths will be reflected which is blue.Thats why sky is blue during daytime. But in the afternoon, sunset begins and those colors absorbed(green,yellow, orange,red) will eventually sets off from being absorbed as the sun is setting. that is why red orange to yellow orange sunset color is seen.

â it depends! If you use a spectrometer it is one thing, because you must trust it and not your eyes;
⣠no matter how does the planet look from outside, as soon as you land on it, you’ll see there usual colours; your eye being a gauge, your brain will rather soon process the sun light as white! You’ll see the blue sky at noon, and red at sunset;

It seems kind of counterituitive, but that's what pretty much happens on Mars...
The planet has a salmon- colored sky during the day, but sunrises and sunsets are blue...
Kinda strange, huh?
Clear Skies!

Are you thinking of Purple Haze?
I think from normally orange at noon it would become dark red at sunset?
