Blue is scattered more than other colours because it travels as shorter, smaller waves.
This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Around Leipzig
As the Sun sets, its light is passing through more of the atmosphere. Even more of the
blue light is scattered, allowing the reds and yellows to pass straight through to your eyes.

Giotto di Bondone (1266/7 – January 8, 1337), better known simply as Giotto, was an Italian painter and architect from Florence. The Pope sent a messenger to Giotto, asking him to send a drawing to demonstrate his skill, Giotto drew, in red paint, a perfect circle, as though it was drawn using a compass, and told the messenger to give that to the Pope.
