A hotter Earth like world would have perpetual cloud cover allowing perpetually violet skies when then sun is at an acute angle... which it would always be at near the poles. The "sky" would not be blue because cloud cover would be the norm. You would at best get the occasional hole in the cloud cover letting a little bit of blue through, but this would be the exception, not the rule so we would identify the "sky" as violet. | |
