That depends if you are in a shadow or can see the sun. The background in space is black, but if you can see the sun (like it isn't being blocked by a planet), then you and your tools or craft (I hope you have a space ship up there with you, or you have more to worry about) will be well lit and visible.
Moon
The solar system is constantly bombarded by the light of the sun. The precieved darkness of space is the result of poor camera exposure. In fact, space resmbles how it looks on Earth when there are no lights about.
The sky on earth is lit by the sun during the day. The sunlight hitting the atmosphere illuminates it. When the sun is below the horizon, after it sets, the part of the sky it illuminates gets smaller and smaller until its effect is no longer seen. This darkening time is called twilight until it is totally dark and becomes night.
The bubble of space influenced by the sun is called the heliosphere. It is a region of space where the sun's influence dominates over the interstellar medium.
A device that can project an image of the sun into a dark underground room is called a solar tube or solar light pipe. These devices use a series of reflective tubes or panels to capture sunlight from outdoors and channel it into the underground space to provide natural light.
Yes! space is pitch black! however, because of the light of the stars,and especially the sun..... space is really glowing with light . but it is still dark in space .

when the sun is in the earth it appears to be an extremely large black, dark space castin many shadows across the earth
it was pitch black, with shiny stars the 9 planets and the sun and moon.
Sun spots, its where the electrically charged particles on the suns surface cant pass the magnetic lines produced there and are thrown out in to space causing a cooler area which appears dark to us !
An Aston dark space is a dark space in a glow discharge which is adjacent to the cathode.
Dark Is the Sun was created in 1979.
Moon
Hubble was first and foremost designed to be serviced in space, unlike other satellites. However, if it was in a geosynchronous orbit on the dark side of the moon, we couldn't communicate with it due to the radio blackout that occurs. Hubble's instruments also compensate for ambient orbital light, and many observations are taken when Hubble is in orbit on the dark side of the Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope (originally named the Next Generation Space Telescope), the follow-on to HST, will however take advantage of lower light conditions by orbiting at the Sun-Earth Lagrange (L2) point, which is out past the Moon's orbital path. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Herschel Space Observatory and Planck space observatory are already in orbit at the Sun-Earth L2 point.
The Dark Past was created on 1948-12-22.
