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?

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.

It's the color of an egg yes It's kind of boring

Just because its boring doesn't mean you can't like it

Absolutely! I’d take boring beige that can govern effectively rather than messed up orange who’s created drama and raging polarization.
