The sky isn't technically blue, it's the reflection of the earth. The earth is more water than land so during the day when the sun reflects off the earth, the sky looks blue. Since no light is being reflected off the earth at night, it appears black. I would say if you had to put a color on it, it's black because after you get a certain height off the ground, the sky looks black, not blue.

it goes golden in the evening when the sun sets, as for why it was actually blue most of the time i can't remember, something to do with the colour of oxygen (which in solid form is blue), and the ozone layer (which is 3 oxygen molecules bonded together), but i can't remember why exactly...
Wow. I'd like to punch whoever made up those theories.
