These walls are taupe to my mind, but some might say they are just a tad light, comments please!

Lovely! My only gripe is that I was going to use ‘taupe’ too. Everyone will think I nicked it from you 😉
Well, you refer them back to this comment! And anyway, I don’t think anyone is keeping score! 😳😄
Possibly not. But you never know what stats Becky has squirrelled away 😉
Oh, I know she has, but other readers?
Go for it Margaret, I think you will only be our third taupe 😀
Exactly…I wasn’t the first
Other fish to fry tomorrow… I mean fry up of course
Oh, OK!
😆
I think taupe is a bit darker, Sue. A light coffee colour. Oh, I see! It wasn’t a serious kwestion? A nice snippet of French life, though 🙂 🙂
Not a serious question!
🤣🤣
A bit light for me. A beauty though, from a great part of France.
Yep, I think it’s a bit light, but hey! And I loved the Aveyron
Hats off for this one, Sue. I’ll go with taupe. Obviously the lovely French sunshine is making it look lighter.
Thanks, Tish..and yes, that, sunshine!!
Looks like beige to me. I know about beige. I am at that age.
Well, I don’t do beige…to me, it’s hearing aid beige
“Beige is dependable, conservative, and flexible. The colour beige is neutral, calm, and relaxing. The attributes and meanings associated with beige change based on the colours it accompanies. The colour beige offers some of the warmth of the colour brown and the some of the crisp and coolness of the colour white.”
Well, you really are sold on it! I’m not…..
Gorgeous photo! I would call the walls milky coffee
Well, there you go!
It is a gorgeous square – looking up as well as taupe 🙂
Two ups for the price of one!
😃
I regard taupe the same way I regard tan as a colour. Variable depending on the usage.
I’ll second that!
I have a tan camera bag from one maker and a sand bag from another. They’re a similar colour I would describe as straw.
😄😄😄
Most colour swatches show taupe a bit darker, true. But occasionally one finds this light shade as well amongst them – so I’ll just accept your mind for it, especially since I like the photo very much.
Thanks very much, Elke!
it all depends on your monitor setting I think how you see colors, I’ve noticed if I see my photo on someone else’s monitor the colors might look slightly different
Oh, that’s true, of course!
I’d be hesitant about walking into a paintshop and asking for this colour. Nearest in my book is Sand. Definitely not beige, definitely not yellow, definitely not taupe. Start with a can of white and gradually add brown until you get something like the walls you show then call it what you will and sell the mix top Farrow & Ball.
Very good!!😄😄
My wife says I have inaccurate colour vision. To me, those walls look ‘cream’, or ‘beige’. But if she’s right, what do I know? 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
😄😄
I would like the left and right to include the whole door and window. Love the patina.
The original image does, but it wasn’t square!
Now, this photo is super cool 😀
Thanks, Cee!
Great up word too for the day!
Yay!
I love the colour taupe, a sort of grey – brown. Something similar will be chosen for my woodwork once restrictions are lifted and I can get some work done on the house. Whatever the colour here this is a lovely shot and I adore those shutters! And a very clever up 😊
Thanks, Jude. I loved the shutters!.
I love the shutters of France!! Lovely shot of these and you could actually link this to Thursday Doors as well, as I’m pretty sure that’s a door on the left. 🙂
janet
It is a door, so I coul, I suppose!
I am amazed at the comments taupe has generated. So made me laugh. Too light, the sunshine, not dark enough…..yay for the people who care about random stuff that is wonderful 🙂 🙂
I’m in the not dark enough brigade 😀
Well, I myself did say it was too light!!
You did
😄
I’ve never been sure what taupe is, so I’m happy to go with your choice!
Yay!!😊😊
How about écru???
Where’s the up in that, Meg?!
But of course, you needed “… up …”
Exactly
