Okay…I got the book wrong. Statement still stands.
Most people under 27 won’t recognize the imagery of ‘television tuned to a dead channel’

Television tuned to a dead channel today is black and blank.

Which makes “sky the color of a dead broadcast channel” a bright, clear, cheerful blue. (-:

As far as I can tell it’s a bit like being a Bond villain - controlling the world though secret council meetings in a hidden fortress and so on. This: Making Light: Prophetable colors is informative, interesting and on topic.

A journey into the Plane of Colours to retrieve the sacred, secret name of a colour elemental tends to invovle some weird stuff, yeah. Don’t drink the water. especially if it’s Wedgewood Blue (Lavender Nightlight is usually ok but makes you sleepy).

I think it’s Ocean Grey.
Or Military Grey.
As surely as the day I first read it, the opening line of Neuromancer instantly calls to mind the grey “snow” of a TV channel whose broadcast station has powered off for the night.
For those born after the advent of digital broadcasts, it looked like this…
And occasionally this when the insomnia caught up with you…
