The sky would still be blue; an Earthlike atmosphere will always result
in a blue sky, no matter what the spectrum of the star. And the sun's
spectrum would be more toward the red end, but we'd still see it as
white light, and eyes which evolved on the planet would definitely still
see it as white light.
As far as the calendar goes, do you want to rebase on -14 (15 BC) or
leave it based on -986?
