Greek mythology

A quick question for those better versed in mythology than I am: does anyone know of a myth where a race between Iris and another goddess resulted in the sky being painted blue? Are there any similar myths?

Its kind of sad when the quality of a student's work makes one suspicious, but on the other hand, if its all her invention she may have a career as a writer.

quick and dirty research suggests that no, that's not in the canon of established myths. But this is very much quick-and-dirty research.

I'm actually pretty convinced it's completely original. Which makes me feel old.
