Is taupe a beige?<br /> Like Angie, I think of camel being the same as toffee. I think tan and beige are the same, Initially, I felt mildly perplexed by the comparison of rust and cinnamon. However, thinking of all the rusty cars I have seen, I definitely understand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027510 Wed, 15 May 2019 23:18:40 +0000 Style Fan 2027510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like camel and tan when they are very warm.&nbsp; I am rather passionate about neutrals and anything that is related to brown.&nbsp; I don't wear taupe because cool tones suck the life out of me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027487 Wed, 15 May 2019 17:49:42 +0000 JAileen 2027487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some time ago I thrifted a vintage Coach backpack in camel. I think that was what they called the color. Ordinarily I wouldn’t add things in this color, but I might have bought it before I went grey. Anyway, it looks nice with both blue and grey. I found some booties that work with it, to make it look less random. I was told this was from 1999, so it’s considered vintage now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027477 Wed, 15 May 2019 16:40:26 +0000 Angie 2027477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal,</b> those colours are GREAT with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027470 Wed, 15 May 2019 16:03:42 +0000 Anonymous 2027470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tricky colours, but when the right one hits, I like it on me.

I think of taupe as a cooler "beige" and camel as the warmest. I think I am lucky, I can wear them all but also cool tones like grays. Not sure why (maybe I'm fooling myself?).

I would add more but they don't often come in lightweight materials/styles and in my mostly hot climate I can't use sweaters, jackets or thick materials.&nbsp; I have one sweater blazer that I've only been able to wear a couple of times so far (it's mostly too warm for spring/autumn).&nbsp; The cotton "cardi" in a cedar color is a favorite color but hard to find for warm weather wear.</p> <p>I think most of my tan/cognac/caramel colored items are accessories; shoes, handbags and belts which often I wear in tan (cognac) and similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027395 Wed, 15 May 2019 11:36:35 +0000 Jessikams 2027395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore brown in all shades, but the warmer mid tones look the best on me— camel, caramel, etc. Delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027350 Wed, 15 May 2019 06:29:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 2027350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I weren’t too lazy to put my wardrobe in Finds when I see yours and Brooklyn’s! I have one beige tunic from 2011 I think and one pair beige summer shoes. Camel I am not sure, maybe in the tunic print. Or maybe in the stripes of the layering top. Tan I have bag, boots, crochet vest and sandals. Tan suits me better I feel- warmer toned? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027341 Wed, 15 May 2019 04:29:55 +0000 Sal 2027341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - I forgot about taupe - that is not my shade......so classy but a quick way to make me look tired and ruddy all at once.</p> <p>Brooklyn I love your pieces - especially the clutch and the wrap blouse.&nbsp; Gorgeous.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Gretchen - your finds are lovely too.&nbsp; I like that conker shade.</p> <p>If I broaden camel/tan out to light- medium warm browns I have a couple more pieces too....&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Bonnie and Style Detective </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027304 Wed, 15 May 2019 02:31:24 +0000 Gretchen 2027304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Brooklyn, what a great Collection! </p> <p>I’m a no for beige/camel/tan - I look washed out in all three. </p> <p>For me, it’s cream, conker or deep brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027279 Wed, 15 May 2019 01:00:34 +0000 Bonnie 2027279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have a few beige items, a vest, sandals, and a shirtdress, that I wear in summer and I'm thinking about adding a pair of pants and maybe a topper.

I do think there are warmer and cooler versions of beige (same lightness, different amount of yellow) but overall I see it as a warm colour, even though it's cooler than camel and tan.</p> <p>I rarely wear these colours - I am cool toned and I don't find them very flattering on me, though I love them on others. I do like tan/cognac but I tend to only use it for bags, shoes and belts.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like your faux fur jacket :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027260 Wed, 15 May 2019 00:12:56 +0000 Brooklyn 2027260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see it exactly as suntiger said. I wear tan, mustard (a more goldish brown) and cognac (more orange/red). Also taupe (brownish grey). I do wear camel too, especially if it leans caramel. I avoid beige because it’s too pale for me. I need a warmer, more saturated colour near my face. But I’m not averse to it as part of a pattern.</p> <p>I have been focussing on adding brown and golden tones this year. They feel like a nice change from the cool neutrals that have dominated for the last 10 years. I will do a post eventually. But I like them with neutrals (black, white, grey) or with my usual colours (burgundy, teal, dark green). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027259 Wed, 15 May 2019 00:11:35 +0000 Sal 2027259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting - I that beige and camel are a good way to work out if you are cool or warm coloured - as with creams and whites.&nbsp; Whereas often with blues you can wear both cool and warm coloured.....</p> <p>I see toffee and caramel as slightly richer than camel but that could be just me.</p> <p>I do think that animal print has contrast built in with blacks or dark browns.</p> <p>I won't be going there with the 90s beige looks - or will I without realising... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027239 Tue, 14 May 2019 22:35:49 +0000 Anonymous 2027239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of beige as the lightest and coolest tone, camel as more yellowed, and tan as light neutral brown. I have a few things-a cardi, puffer, pants, and sandals-and use the colors like others would white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027234 Tue, 14 May 2019 22:02:44 +0000 The Cat 2027234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, I see them the same way as you do. However, the difference between them can be very small, and some people call all of them beige--beige meaning "light brown."</p> <p>When my hair was dark, I wore them all, often mixed with black or other deep colours. Now that my hair is silver, I find that cool colours suit me best, so I no longer wear beige, camel, tan, etc. However, I think these shades can be beautiful and elegant on people like you who have a colouring where these soft warm tones are reflected. And they look lovely and interesting teamed with blue and aqua shades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027233 Tue, 14 May 2019 22:00:18 +0000 April 2027233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all have warm and cool versions and the warm versions look awful on me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027216 Tue, 14 May 2019 20:49:21 +0000 Lesley 2027216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An interesting question! Truth be told, I have a hard time knowing the difference between camel and tan. I think I wear tan but not camel (is tan just a little darker?). Mostly as in leather bag/footwear, like your tan boots here, but I do also like a tan sweater, because it goes with everything.</p> <p>I was scarred by beige in the 80s and I am not intending to go there now, although I do think leopard and cheetah are a neutral, so maybe I am deluding myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027215 Tue, 14 May 2019 20:47:58 +0000 Anonymous 2027215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a more greyed version, taupe? However I understand the color differences as you describe them...beige being the lightest shade, tan the darkest, almost caramel. Then there is toffee which I picture as not quite as yellow as camel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/camel-beige-tan-is-there-a-difference-do-you-wear-them#post-2027213 Tue, 14 May 2019 20:41:45 +0000 Sal 2027213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beige is back - part of the 90s revival. </p> <p>I see beige as cooler and lighter than camel, which is lighter than tan. I wear camel and tan - but not beige. Or I think I do?</p> <p>I mix camel with black, white, denim, navy, red, and yellow/ mustard. I prefer some contrast - not monochromatic.</p> <p>Here are my pieces.</p> <p>How about you- do you see these as different, do you wear these colours? </p>
