Question

Okay I see people talking about the color taupe but i seriously have never seen that color or heard of it before. What does it look like is it a form of gray brown what?

Answer 1

"Taupe" is actually a family of colors (like "green").  Here is a web page with several of them on it:

Answer 2

It's a strange colour to describe, a brownish/mauve would sort of describe it I guess
