Warm neutrals and earthy tones are among the trends of this year, and if you are looking for a proper shade to rock in your home, for a color that will add elegance and a refined touch to all the spaces, taupe is your choice!
What Color Is Taupe?
In simple terms, we can place the color taupe in between brown and grey. The word comes from the French word meaning “mole” as it was the rodent’s average color. However, since the 1940s, the usage of the word expanded to denote a broad range of shades. In reality, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that taupe is actually a vague color term that may describe a variety of hues ranging from greyish brown to dark tan. Taupe is a neutral hue — neutrals are created by combining complementary colors (colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel) which results in desaturated brownish colors or mutes — likewise, taupe hues are achieved by mixing together umber and white pigment.
