This question isn't a joke, as most have perceived it so far. In actuality, the sky IS purple, or at least violet, it just doesn't appear as such.

(Separate User) The reason we see blue instead of purple is because our eyes perceive blue better then purple. To be precise the sky contains 50 times more purple then blue. The way the air particles in the sky work is that they reflect light and change it's direction toward us. The shorter the wavelength, the more likely it is to be reflected. (purple is the shortest that we can see, red is the longest)

What is the true colors of the sky?

The sky appears blue to us because of the way Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight. Blue light from the sun is scattered in all directions by the gases and particles in our atmosphere, which is why we see a blue sky during the day. At sunrise and sunset, the sky can appear orange or red due to the longer path that sunlight travels through the atmosphere, which scatters shorter-wavelength blue and green light.
