How does sky color change from sunrise to noon, and which blue looks deepest?

"The daytime sky appears blue because air molecules scatter shorter wavelengths of sunlight more than longer ones (redder light)."

"Scattered light from the horizon travels through as much as 38 times the air mass as does light from the zenith , causing a blue gradient looking vivid at the zenith and pale near the horizon."

"The sky can turn a multitude of colors such as red, orange, purple, and yellow (especially near sunset or sunrise) when the light must travel a much longer path (or optical depth ) through the atmosphere."

"Scattering effects also partially polarize light from the sky and are most pronounced at an angle 90° from the Sun."

"At higher altitudes, the sky tends toward darker colors since scattering is reduced due to lower air density ."

"This takes away most of the blue and violet light before reaching us."

"blue light dominates the sky, which is why it appears blue. However, the situation changes dramatically during sunrise and sunset."

"At sunrise and sunset, sunlight must pass through a long atmospheric path, meaning it travels a much greater distance through the atmosphere before reaching an observer."

"The model predicts both the red color observed in the lowest 8° of the sky for the total solar eclipse of 30 June 1973 and the enriched blue color of the sky at any elevation angle greater than the solar elevation angle."

"As sunlight moves along this long atmospheric path, most of the shorter wavelengths are scattered out of the direct line of sight. What remains are the longer wavelengths, reds, oranges, and yellows, resulting in the red-orange sky hues commonly associated with sunrise and sunset colors."
