It is, but the sky is closer to you than the Moon so when the sky is blue there’s blue light coming from the direction of the Moon, which is more apparent when there isn’t strong light coming off the Moon itself.

Here I’m assuming you’re using “dark side of the Moon” to refer to the part of the Moon visible from Earth but not currently lit by the Sun, rather than the side of the Moon that’s not visible from Earth.
