This is perceived as something near the color "beige", but it contains emissions from the whole spectrum (ten billion years ago, it would have been a lot bluer, apparently).
Names suggested for this color include skyvory, univeige, and cosmic latte. Personally, I like this color, but I cannot admit to liking anything "beige" so I'd choose skyvory at the paint store (it doesn't look brown enough to me to be Cosmic Latte, although that's the name formally given).

It looks like Benjamin Moore's Queen Anne Pink, to me.
Peaceable, I agree with your comment that it looks more pink than beige/tan, so why don't we call it Aerial Pink?
Da
On my screen it doesn't look pink - Farrow and Ball Wimborne white.
