When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.
