Cosmic Latte: The Average Color of the Universe

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

What color is the universe? If all the light from the sky were averaged, the result would be a shade of beige, specifically #FFF8E7 in computer parlance. Astronomers determined this by computationally averaging the light emitted by 200,000 galaxies from the 2dF survey. This whimsical question helped determine what stars are commonplace in nearby galaxies.
