The Universe is beige.
American scientists studied 200,000 galaxies and decided the universe was pale green.
The used the Dulux colour guide and decided it was somewhere between Mexican Mint, Jade Cluster and Shangri La Silk.
A few weeks after their announcement they admitted they'd made a mistake and it was in fact beige, closer to Gay Whisper with a touch of Amber Glow.

I would have pictured something other than beige

You mean it's not turtles all the way down????:p
William James the noted American psychologist and philosopher, brother of Henry James had just finished giving a lecture on the solar system when he was approached by an elderly lady.
" Mr. James", she said. "We don't live on a ball rotating around the sun, we live on a crust of earth on the back of a giant turtle."
" If your theory is correct, ma'am", replied the patient Mr. James. "What does this turtle stand on?"
" A second far larger turtle, of course," she snorted derisively.
"But what does this second turtle stand on?" pressed the philosopher.
"It"s no use, Mr. James," crowed the old lady triumphantly. "It's turtles all the way down."

It is and it isn't. I mean nobody thinks beige would be exciting, BUT it's exciting in the sense that I though it would be black
Black is just the absence of light, if you could light it up, it would be beige.
Like being in The Cold Dark Room with no lights on, everything looks black, but isn't.
