Does the color eventually change with the day/night cycle? It looks like you’re way off the edge of the map looking at the void, which happened to a friend of mine the very first time he joined a multiplayer game way back when multiplayer first came out. If you can open the citizens view and click on a hearthling to select/jump to them, does that get you back to the world?

That was exactly it! Opening up the citizens view and click on a hearthling to select/jump to them zoomed me in from some far away camera angle back to the world. Thanks!

For anyone else who thinks they may have this issue too the color did change with the day/night cycle and stars came out at night.
