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.
