I found out from a friend in astronomy that space is not actually black, but a very dark green, how can this be explained?

He may have been refering to the study which dubbed the average color of the universe (when viewed from a distance) to be turqois. The scientists later recanted and said it was actually somewhat beige.
Also, it isn't that there aren't any "green" stars but there are factors at work as why we don't see them as green. Go here for more information on the matter: http://www.astronomycafe.net/qadir/q72.html

This is very peculiar, because no star at all is green!
I guess the very faint green light is synchrotron radiation from the Van Allen Belts around the earth.(Family of the Northern Light)

Ask him.
Technically black is the absence of color. Because of defraction and reflection, space is not black. Don't know if green is accurate, but is as good as any other color.
I assume that if you put his dark green next to my black, very few peolpe would know the difference...

universe is of no colour only the objects them unless the background radiation has a color.
