We painted our house a color called Urbane Bronze and it looks like a smoky black to me. But some people call it brown (which it must have some brown in it, hence the name), others black, others gray.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335897 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 15:22:30 +0000 Angie 2335897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call it taupe, although there is green in that tone of taupe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335887 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 13:48:46 +0000 Jules 2335887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel a bit remiss for not linking directly to Maria Killam's website, since she is the guru on this. Although her focus is home decor the colour concepts apply to clothing as well. I may even have initially learned about youlookfab from some cross-pollination from Maria's work?&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://mariakillam.com/colourwheel/">https://mariakillam.com/colourwheel/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335884 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 12:45:53 +0000 Val MN 2335884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Echo that colors in this range tend to elude our labels. I see greenishness (compared to the “camel” coat), like the Green Beige or Green Grey on that Killam color wheel. Who knows what it would look like irl or with other colors next to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335883 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 12:35:43 +0000 Janet 2335883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Jules’s graphic! Yes, I see that it’s a greyed-green undertone but certainly not GREEN green. </p> <p>This reminds me of the color we painted our den. It’s the most bizarre thing. In some light it looks bluish-grey, and sometimes when the sun hits it, it looks more greenish. But on the paint chip held outdoors it looks almost khaki-ish! It truly is very chameleon-ish. I like that aspect of it. We play up the blue tone of it for that room, but it’s a pleasant neutral because somehow it manages not to feel too cool or too warm, and it’s not beige or grey, which both tend to feel rather flat. </p> <p>In a trench like this, I think its usefulness would depend on how it works with your skin tone. It quite appeals to me, because beige does absolutely nothing for me, flattery-wise, but I could see this cooler green-tinged color working well. If I were in the market for such a cost, I’d be very tempted to try it! Of course YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335870 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 11:43:47 +0000 Minaminu 2335870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh this reminds me of that dress phenomenon which no one could agree on the colour (history on wiki <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dresshttp://">here</a>&nbsp;)!</p> <p>I'd agree that it looks like&nbsp;green&nbsp; undertoned beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335869 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 11:31:17 +0000 Anonymous 2335869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I need one of those color wheels to identify the whites/beiges I can wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335859 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 09:47:16 +0000 April 2335859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clapping along with Jules and JNZ.&nbsp; The Camel has a pink undertone and the Green (taupe) has a green undertone.</p> <p>Thank you Maria Killam for teaching me these things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335855 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 07:43:50 +0000 Jenni NZ 2335855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks more taupe to me too, but quite different to the camel one if you scroll between the two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335850 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 06:47:37 +0000 rachylou 2335850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not green.

It is a bluer toned neutral. Colors in this range really defy description, much like a grey can run anywhere from a brownish to blue to a true neutral black and white only (and even then, grey is changeable depending on the colors it is surrounded by). Regardless, I would go by the photo and not the labeled color, as many places are incredibly liberal with their interpretations of color names. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335833 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 01:52:38 +0000 Helena 2335833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks taupe with perhaps a green undertone. But zoom in on the button ... It looks sage to me ... So wondering if the photo colour is off and it's more green irl? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taupe-vs-green-what-color-do-you-think-this-is#post-2335832 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 01:45:39 +0000 Jules 2335832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call it a green undertoned beige. Taupe is more brown.
