When flying super-high in creative the sky becomes purple, as opposed to blue. this is best observed by using the /tp command to teleport to a very high y value.
How to replicate:
1. Create a new creative world.
2. /tp to a very high y-value, around 1000000, however the effect can be seen as low as y=5000.

What is the intention for it?
That the sky change color at high altitudes? That's kind of how it works in real life, so I don't understand why anyone would think it's a bug. Also, it helps give the player a sense of motion that's otherwise lacking at high altitudes.
It gets darker, doesn't it? You presumably never leave the atmosphere though, since the Minecraft world is infinite~ish in all directions. So you never reach the icy blackness of space. There's still atmospheric diffusion, giving the sky a color, rather than it turning black.
what I still don't get about this resolution is that even if the sky is supposed to become purple as you go higher, it's not noticeable within the range of y-values normally accessible in survival. The only way to see this is to go into creative and fly up, get teleported up, or possibly get launched out of a tnt player launcher. What's the point if it's not noticeable?
