During the day, the sky appears blue because molecules in the atmosphere scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. If the situation were reversed and orange light were scattered instead of blue, the sky would appear to be the complementary color of orange, which is a shade of blue, especially during times when the light has a direct path to the observer, such as during sunset.
