What does TAUPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A brownish-gray color, similar to the fur of a mole.
Taupe sits between brown and gray without leaning strongly toward either one, which makes it a popular neutral choice for walls, furniture, and clothing that needs to blend easily with other colors. The word comes from the French for mole, the small burrowing animal whose fur first gave the shade its name. Beyond naming the color itself, taupe also works as an adjective, as in a taupe sofa or taupe curtains.
