Well, technically the sky isn't blue at all.  (And especially in this
particular instance over the Eastern portion of the Plateau in Montreal
where and when it's a very white grey color.) Since the sky only *appears*
blue because the other light frequencies have been absorbed or gone
"through" the atmosphere, and a frequency within the range we call "blue"
has been bounced back (though again, not in the current, particular case in
which a whitish grey is being bounced back).
