off course color is blue
The color of scattered light depends upon the size of particles.
as you have to know, the molecules of air and fine particles present in the atmosphere have size smaller than the wavelength of visible light. they scatter light of shorter wavelengths at the blue end than light of longer wavelength at the red end. that's why when sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the fine particles in air scatter the blue more strongly than other color.

The answer is blue.
When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, blue color of light gets scattered strongly by the fine particles in air. This is because blue color light has comparatively shorter wavelengths than other colors such as red. The molecules present in the air, as well as other fine particles present in the atmosphere are smaller in size than the wavelength of visible light. Therefore, they scatter lights better at the blue end because of the short wavelength of the color.
