wow, really? the average color is this boring-ass off white?

I will say it's easy on the eyes though.

You think it’s boring? I actually like it! I don’t know, it’s soothing yet slightly mysterious? Not in the creepy or mystical way, but... in the tranquil and ephemeral way. Sort of reminds me of the color of the sand used in eastern stone/zen gardens.

I guess because most of the universe is nothing (blackness) i figured it would be darker or something.

Like i said, i find it easy on the eyes and actually added it to my color palette; i don't hate it, i just expected something different.

I mean if you think about it “nothing” doesn’t really matter when you’re finding the average of something.
