not exactly true...
a cold day has the sky looking a paler blue than a hot day, which is a richer blue and a scorcher over land mass causes the horizon, through heat haze, to appear as a very, very pale (even more to white) band. The time of day and season, also plays with the colour a bit... in winter for instance the sunset half of the sky turns a very pale turquoisey green, flitering to a rich almost indigo on the sunrise side.

Higher altitudes has the sky paler than at sea level
