i know the sky is black b/c we are moving and distant stars when the red/blue-shift eventually shift to a point that the light dissipates, at least that's what i read a long time ago. so hypothetically if the universe were stationary would the sky get the "endless forest" effect and be a lot more white? i know there are some other problems with my question just plz bear with it im just wondering.

If the universe stood still there will be no color in the sky. There will be nothing in the universe. The colors plus everything else will disappear the moment he universe stood still. Every single thing around us, including colors, are made of matter. And matter on the other hand is actually a little bump created at a particular place or point at the surface of an expanding universe by forces that are pulling back to the big bang. I believe that these bumps are also the "space time warp" that looks like holes on the surface of the expanding universe. If you were to draw a line that traces the surface of the universe, you will see lots of smoothly curved "V" shape lines. I think the "V" shape lines are also related to "String Theory". When these "bumps" or "V" moves, they tend to be attracted or to fall into each other. And that I think is what we call gravity. The "bumps" or the "V" are the building block of matter. They are the result of the tug of war between the big bang and the expanding universe, The only way the universe could stand still is to stop the tug of war between the big bang and the expending universe. But by doing so there will be no more force to create the bumps or the Vs. Matter as we know it, will disappear. I don't think the sky will be white any more. I think it will be colorless.

Not really, no. The sky is black because there's a lack of light and the absense of light is effectively the colour black, so as long as there's nothing there we can see, it'll be black.
