The main reason why space appears black is because space is a near-vacuum environment with no medium that disperses light, such as the atmosphere. The colors seen on Earth are produced by the interaction of light rays with gases and particles in the atmosphere. The sky appears blue because the atmosphere scatters sunlight, but in space it appears pitch black because there is no atmosphere to scatter light or reflect sunlight, but instead travels in a straight line.
It is important to note that space is not completely devoid of light, the sun and other stars emit light radiation, and there are also some nebulae and galaxies in the universe that emit or reflect light. However, compared to the influence of the Earth's atmosphere, stars, planets, and other cosmic objects in space reflect light relatively far away, and the light is very sparse, making a limited contribution to the overall appearance of space, so the universe appears to be a deep black.
This is also why space telescopes are able to provide clearer and more accurate images, as they are not affected by atmospheric scattering. To be clear, black in space is not a color, but a result of a lack of atmospheric scattering and occlusion. Overall, the dark appearance of space is due to the lack of a medium that scatters light and the fact that most objects are far away from the Sun, which also makes it feel black when seen from Earth.
