Imagine if I was floating in intergalactic space with absolutely no galaxies or stars nearby and I put my hand in front of my face, would I be able to see it or is it too dark?

You are right that there are places in the Universe that are so far from anything that you'd see nothing. In the center of the Giant Void (13h 01m +38.7°) would place you more than half a billion light-years from the nearest galaxy. A quasar at that distance would have a magnitude of 11 and would barely be discernible to a good 3" telescope.

It would be very dark. And very cold too.
The only way you could see your own hand is by moving it in front of the dim galaxies. Then you would only see a vague silhouette of your hand. Otherwise you wouldn't see anything.

Imagine a clear dark sky out in the middle of no where, with no moon in sight and no form of light polution. This is what you'd see in every direction. STARS!!!!!
no space is not dark.

It would depend if there were stars nearby. If you were far away, it would be to dark, but near a star would give off allot of light. Thats what I think.

Blinding. If that makes sense. You wouldn't be able to see anything.

Space is the blackest thing in the universe, well except for Shaft, now shut your mouth.
-
You won't be able to see anything in the absent of light, even right here on Earth.

Space less black nothing a scary thought.
