Mostly white skies here. Maybe half a dozen blue skies per month.
It would, due to the red scatter, with the blue mixed in, look: Purple.

And I can empathize with that...mostly pale - very pale - blue skies here. Once in a while though, like today, there is a patch, through the artificial cloud cover, of a deep blue. A navy blue...almost a blue-black. And sometimes, at night, to the north, there is a sense of the old sky, the sky of my youth, as it were.

If methane makes Neptune look blue to us because of it reflecting blue light, wouldn't that mean little to no blue light would reach the surface?
And therefore, the sky at the surface would look more red to yellow?

Actually any blue sky you see is due to chemtrails containing "Manganese di-Bromo di-Fluoro-Benzidine (salts)" - it's on Rense AND Aircrap - so it must be true.
The sky above had a deep blue look
Place a lot more methane in our atmosphere (the amount needed would suffocate all of us), would NOT give us blue skies! The blue light from the sun would be reflected back and not reach the surface.

No, Gaul, the OP link is from space.com via Yahoo BUT awhile back (some years ago) there was something being developed that could make the sky look blue......

So what seems worthwhile to me is to somehow avoid those methane skies by, perhaps, stopping jet emissions into the stratosphere.

Sorry I am so slow to catch on here. So you are saying that first, as methane concentration increased in our atmosphere, we would see a faint pink quality to the light. Things would get slightly dimmer. As the concentration increased, our quality of sunlight would go from pinkish to orange until, at some point, we would dwell in perpetual twilight. And then purple would overtake the sky.
Twilight Time
Titan is the only moon in the solar system to have a thick atmosphere. Images from the Huygens probe show that the Titanean sky is a light tangerine color. However, an astronaut standing on the surface of Titan would see a hazy brownish/dark orange colour.
It seems likely that Saturn is permanently invisible behind orange smog, and even the Sun would only be a lighter patch in the haze, barely illuminating the surface of ice and methane lakes. However, in the upper atmosphere, the sky would have a blue color and Saturn would be visible.

For the record, jet's are releasing 0 methane into the atmosphere. You and I are releasing Methane from our brown eyes, so are all the animals we farm to eat, our pets, the bacteria eating our wastes, and the methane trapped from organic sources in the earth's crust. We call Methane natural gas because it's most often observed coming from organic sources on earth.

Oh...so you're saying Rense and Aircrap are wrong about that then??
