That is a process called 'red shift' it a process where light shifts towards the red part of the light spectrum.
This can happen over vast distances such as galaxies and also through dense air. When the sun sets the light is going through a lot more of the atmosphere than when it's midday so it will shift more as it sets.

When the sun is near the horizon, there is a lot more atmosphere between you and the sun than there is when the sun is overhead. All that atmosphere acts like a prism, dividing the sunlight into the colors of the rainbow, with the red part of the spectrum heading in your direction.
