    Cosmic Latte: The Average Color of the #Universe

    The universe's average color is a beige-like hue, known as cosmic latte (#FFF8E7). This was determined by averaging the light from 200,000 galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The color has reddened over time, suggesting an increase in redder stars.

  2. The average color of the universe is #FFF8E7, and the "color of infinite temperature" -- the asymptote approached as a radiating body gets hotter and hotter -- is #94B1FF.

    And they actually go *great* together. What a nice coincidence.

  3. "Cosmic Latte", the average colour of galaxies. Although this is from 2003, the JWST data may well have skewed it. #FFF8E7

  4. @RnDanger @mcc That's pretty close to the "dark mode" background...

    In other colour trivia, "Cosmic Latte" is the average colour of the universe. #FFF8E7

  5. [Quelle est la #couleur "moyenne" de notre #Univers ?] Une nuance de #beige - et plus précisément #FFF8E7, si l'on en croit les résultats d'une étude récente publiés sur l'#APOD.

    Cette étude a consisté à déterminer la moyenne informatique de la #lumière émise par l'un des plus grands échantillons de #galaxies analysés : les 200 000 galaxies du 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey.

    Cosmic Latte: The Average Color of the #Universe

    The universe's average color is a beige shade, known as cosmic latte (#FFF8E7). This was determined by averaging the light from 200,000 galaxies in the 2dF #Galaxy Redshift Survey. The hue has reddened over time, suggesting an increase in redder stars.

  7. My cosmos color style in ggplot2.
    Two colors and their mixtures for theme and geom defaults.
    cosmoscolour <- c("#16161D", "#FFF8E7")

  8. Die NASA hat einmal die Durchschnittsfarbe des Universums ermittelt: #FFF8E7. Die NASA nennt diese Farbe Cosmic Latte und was uns das Universum damit sagen möchte, darf sich jeder Mensch selber überlegen. :cafe_latte:
