Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Rose Taupe Color 811 - #905D5D
The first recorded use of rose taupe as a color name in English was in 1924.
Taupe /taw-p/ is a dark grayish brown or brownish gray. It takes its name from
the French word for mole, and from the Latin name for the European Mole, Talpa
europaea.
Originally, this referred only to the average color of the French mole, but
like the colors pink and lavender, the name expanded (in the case of taupe
beginning in the 1940s) to encompass a wide range of varying shades.
