Glamorous Taupe

2003-10A

Glamorous Taupe is a rosy beige-taupe with a warm clay undertone. It is not gray taupe. A bedroom, powder room, or dressing area can feel softer with it, without leaning pink at first glance.

In cool daylight, the mauve side becomes easier to see. Pair with ivory trim and dark bronze. Avoid yellow-beige carpet if possible, since it can make the rosy undertone look dusty.

Glamorous Taupe in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
