Ha ha! I was about to humorously suggest that the universe was beige and then I read the article attached to the pic and found out I was right!

In case anyone's wondering, the Universe is Benjamin Moore Linen White. I know. I have a background in paint mixing.

Ha! I am sorry to disagree, but it is BM Milkyway 2018-70. Of course my monitor might be displaying the color incorrectly.emmline wrote:In case anyone's wondering, the Universe is Benjamin Moore Linen White. I know. I have a background in paint mixing.
