While enjoying media coverage (for a refreshing change) about the solar eclipse, I came across this interesting gem. Cosmic Latte is a name assigned to the average color of all light in the universe, coined by a team of astronomers from Johns Hopkins University.
It’s this: 
. RBG (255, 248, 231) to be precise.
The scientists informally voted on the Cosmic Latte name. Other choices they came up with included:
- Cappuccino Cosmico
- Big Bang Blush
- Astronomer Almond
- Skyvory
- Univeige
- Cosmic Khaki
- Primordial Clam Chowder
Cosmic Latte is a perfectly good choice. But even though it’s a done deal, we wanted to take a crack at this tasty challenge, so we generated a few options of our own. Here are, in our collective humble opinion, our Top Ten:
- Supernovanilla
- Crème de la Cosmos
- Off-white Dwarf
- Space Nog
- Moon Bisque
- Astrobuff
- Planetary Pearl
- Space Tan
- Cosmic Blonde
- Sun Cream
And it’s always fun to show the also-ran options, so here they all are. Enjoy!
