The Classic Taupe
Taupe is one of the most important colors in contemporary design -- a warm grey-brown that reads as simultaneously neutral across both warm and cool palettes. Omni 3015 Dusty Taupe is a soft, slightly dusty taupe: the thread for fabrics that read as the classic warm grey-brown of taupe, a color pervasive in contemporary quilting fabrics, home dec collections, and modern neutral palettes. Where Sesame Seed (3008) is a balanced greige and Ash (3007) is more beige, Dusty Taupe is more distinctly the grey-brown taupe that contemporary design identifies as its own color family.
