pink sky
Evening horizon glow
A pink sky is the rosy or salmon-colored appearance of the sky, typically at sunrise or sunset when sunlight scatters through the atmosphere at low angles.
The old sailor's proverb captures its folk-meteorological meaning: Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky at morning, sailor's warning.
Pink skies have become a visual shorthand for fleeting beauty or romantic moments: We watched the pink sky fade to purple.
