Would it just be pitch black? Or have streaks and stars like you rubbed your eyes for too long?

Ghostly misty white? Like in a fog?

Would it be a flat colour or shade or something that moves?

Perhaps some sort of specific background like a Tv static? Or a room/building you like similar to what some vr spaces do but recreated with splotches of colours maybe?

Or something more exotic like a constantly changing rainbow?

Would like to hear what you’d choose and why that specifically

The assumption would also be that you can’t really change it later, the choice and all the variables would be locked in, barring some minor variation perhaps ( brighter/darker or more/less vibrant for example)

    If you are blind and you close your eyes, you keep seeing the same background color as if your eyes were open (assuming total blindness, not “not sharp vision”)

        I don’t know. Borges describes going blind as everything fading into a bright grey over the years. He was bothered by not being able to sleep because “there was too much light”
