The Colour of the Universe

The Colour of the Universe

The rectangle you see below is the official colour of the universe. 

Astronomers at John Hopkins University have been averaging all the colors from the light of 200,000 galaxies. Their research finds that the current color of the universe is a pale turquoise green.

Apparently, however, the universe follows trends as well. While this colour is the big thing this millenium, over the next few billion years the average colour of the galaxies is predicted to shift towards a reddish hue. Although, by then of course, our own sun will have blown up. :-)
