Benjamin Moore's Taos Taupe 2111-40 |
I can't get away from this color in its much lighter shades. I really can't. I never knew I needed this purple undertone monster in my life until now.
As such, I did some investigating and came up with this really great how-to-work-with-taupe summary from this forum, by DonnaMP14 :
Taupe Loves
- Pure white paint
- Dark stained wood
- Purple undertoned natural linens
- Stones that contain grey or blue
- Metals such as silver, chrome and stainless steel
- The companionship of grey or brown
- Dramatic accents of green, purple or red
- Clear glass
Taupe Hates
- Anything that contains yellow, such as buttery paint
- Golden woods, such as oak
- Yellow-hued linens
- Tan leathers
- Stones that contain beige
- Accessories that hint at yellow, such as dark cream porcelain.
Good stuff, huh?
