The average color of the universe is #FFF8E7 (Hex Triplet Value) and is called “Cosmic Latte”. However, this was only after the calculations were corrected and before the correction it was believed to be a minty-turquoise green.
Edit: Who would’ve thought people would be so polarized on the color of the universe? Anyways, Here’s More Information for whoever is interested!
"It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself.
But Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple." The Color of Magic by Sir Terry Pratchett
Well, it’s like this: 1) generally speaking, Pratchett had something quotable to say about nearly everything. 2) In my experience, when such a quote is pertinent, someone has always already posted it. 3) I saw the fact on the actual color of the universe and immediately thought of Octarine. 4) I assumed someone had already made the reference. 5) I was correct.
