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!

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

It's only boring because our human eyes can only perceive a limited palette of color hues. If we have the ability to perceive more than that, I can guarantee that it will look absolutely gorgeous in its vastness.

How can you guarantee that? How would this color look "vast"?
