18 Types of Taupe

 ,
Taupe is a range of brown-grey colors. This emerged as a color name in the 19th century based on the color of the French mole, an animal that sometimes looks brown and sometimes looks grey depending on the light. A true taupe color is difficult to categorize as brown or grey. Nevertheless, it is common to refer to any brownish grey as taupe. As with other neutral brown-greys such as greige, taupe is a common color for interiors and fashion. The following are common modern variants of taupe color.
