Taupe is the Pharrell Williams of paint colors. It's hot on the charts right now and oh, so happy!
When I think of taupe, I think of the color that is formed when coffee is mixed with milk.

Out of all the taupe's I've played around with, this one is probably my favorite. Smokey Taupe is just a really good color. I've used it numerous times including the wet bar pictured above, which was part of my #Northcliff Kitchen, and I've never been disappointed. I call this color a whisper, because it's just so elegant and soft.
Colors are always fun to explore and I've really been digging the way our taupe selections have turned out. There are some others I've come across that I haven't tried yet like Sherwin William's Balanced Beige which looks like it might be nice. What about you guys, any favorite taupes to pass along? I'd love to add to my list!

Here it is again at one of my more recent kitchen remodel's - Bridgett Court. I love how this color instantly becomes so much more present when used next to white. It just pops. There are slightly red undertones in Smokey Taupe so depending on the light it can have a very light pink hue which you can see a little bit if you compare the base cabinets in the photo above with the wet bar shot. However, it's never overpowering thanks to the also present light brown undertones.

We decided to go with Indian River on the walls instead of the cabinets. Were looking for a complimentary color for the cabinets that is a bit lighter. Our counter-top is Uba Tuba.....
Any suggestions would be great!
If you're looking for a good contextual advertising network, I suggest you have a look at Chitika.
What is the name of a white paint that will work for all the trim in a house using this Indian River in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. The other rooms are painted using a color called Crisp Linen by Sherwin Williams. Thanks
Any idea what this countertop color is
Hi! Can you tell me the color of the kitchen island cabinetry and also the countertop name? TIA!
What is the color of the island with the Indian river cabinets ?
I would like to share it with all my friends and hope they will like it too.
