soul shine,
I am fascinated and very impressed that you got so much meaning out of my answer to Sailcat64's question. When I said that perhaps the universe is a nudist I meant that only if we could perceive it as a whole, it would stand naked in front of us, and thus, at least metaphorically if not more, it would be the colour of flesh.
Yet, we can only think about how the universe looks as a whole with our theoretical imaginations by making observations about particular aspects of the universe, as physical scientists do when they make claims about the nature of the universe's corporeal whole including that it has a beige colour. We can perceive only the particulars of the universe, which tend to be very colourful, and there is much about the nature of the universe that our sensory-perception apparatus misses because the universe has other objects that are beyond our visual light range. Our theoretical imaginations can conceptually, verbally and numerically fill the rest in, so we can imagine what the universe looks like naked, although in ways which are centered around human experience.
Ultimately, however, we remain parts of the universe, and cannot see its whole, and therefore can never see the universe naked.

Colours are very subjective, and our visual range an infinitesimally small portion of the actual spectrum of light. It's interesting that the turquoise and pinkish beige colours are complimentaries directly opposite each other on a colour wheel, cancelling each other out to either white or black depending how one adds or subtracts their values. The pinkish beige makes more sense given the number of yellow and red stars and the frequency of light in our spectrum. God's image is found in many ways, the universe shows His handiwork in things both great and small. The colour of human flesh encompasses a much greater range than the pinkish beige, so positing this as a link to show creation in God's image is quite a bit of a stretch even if the accuracy of the instruments and optics were beyond question ( there is next to nothing that verifiably proves this). Every time we look in either a telescope or microscope, God laughingly looks back at us and says, "You ain't seen nothing yet! Wait 'til I show you this!"

What are you talking about. You come up with a missing????
Where did you get it from, did you pull it out of thin air. It had to come from some where, If by some odd reason. Gods the only one able to create, where there is absolute nothing.
By the way, there is no missing link, and if there was, God would have created it.

I glory in the naked universe, regardless of color. Don't see beige or flesh color much. But maybe only those who create God in their own image see that. As a happy atheist I see the whole spectrum.

I love the link that Mind Traveler add to my question. We perceive the colors in different ways and this is a strange casualty. We are dust (color beige) in the wind.

Not really. Light spectrum makes sense.
You know how they claim the USA is made of Red and Blue states?
Not really, broken down by county we are really purple. See the forest.

this is everything and hot. this is some thing and boat. this is nothing but cute. so,hot boat is cute. it is like this the definition of god also . no one knows what he tells. even the teller(not the one sitting in the bank, one who tells, i mean) and the told don't understand it. only GOD can know Himself. We are not the sea but a tiny part of that great sea called God, Lord, Allah, Ram, Krishna, infinite, Brahmam or call it by any name you prefer.
