What Is the Average Colour of the Universe?

💡 The Answer

• In 2002, astronomers analysed light from over 200,000 galaxies to determine the universe's average colour.
• The result was a beige shade close to white, which they officially named 'Cosmic Latte'.
• The colour reflects the mix of young blue stars and older red stars across all galaxies.
• The name was chosen after the research team noted its resemblance to a milky coffee.
