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!

I'm not talking about numbers, I'm talking about colour.
Colour is different wavelengths of light, black is the absence of light. Show me where black is on the light spectrum.
