Mauve Taupe Color 568 - #915F6D

The first recorded use of mauve taupe as a color name in English was in 1925. A popular brand of professional plastic chessboards marketed to chess masters in the 1960s had squares of this color and the color magnolia because it was felt that those two colors were both easy on the eyes and aesthetic together. These boards were used by chess master George Koltanowski in his chess tournaments in which he played blindfolded against dozens of people at a time.
