For the night sky: put a key in worldspawn called "sky" with the value "pbsky3", and for "dark textures", you just set the lighting to be dark, you don't use any specific new textures. I usually use a pale blue _sun_color and a low _sun_ambient and _sun_light to make it look like nighttime.

Take a look at Q2 tutorials, find "Sunlight tutorial" or something like that. It tells you how to make sun to your map.
For color, take RGB values from paint or where ever you want, then add key "_sun_color" value "<rgb value here>"  to worldspawn and your sun will be the color you wanted it to be.
Also, when it's nighttime map, don't make the sun to lit the whole map, but use other light sources for extra light.
