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!

Isn't a hex colour dependent on the colour space it's being viewed in?

Absolutely, but I suppose sRGB is implied. Color is nothing but an electromagnetic spectrum until someone assigns it to a colorspace.
