Thank you for using the word "taupe" to refer to that color, not the word "nude"!
I just read this article the other day about how calling pinkish colors "nude" is a subtle way to imply that people "should" be pinkish and any other color is abnormal. Here is the article in case you were interested: http://stuffwhitepeopledo.blogspot.com/2009/12/implicitly-deny-that-other-people-are.html
Since I read it, I've been noticing how often the word "nude" is used in fashion to refer only to pinkish colors, and exclude brownish or yellowish colors, which seems unfair. So it was great to see you say "taupe"! Thanks!
