De Wolfe advised Americans to shun ostentation and clutter in favor of simplicity, to dismantle the draperies in order to let in the light, and to replace garish colors with beige and ivory. "I believe in plenty of optimism and white paint," she declared, "comfortable chairs with lights beside them, open fires on the hearth and flowers wherever they 'belong,' mirrors and sunshine in all rooms."- De Wolfe was also a holocaust denier, with a fetish for younger men which once led to a hush hush court casekelpie

Magnicifent_Runes theory doesn't hold up. If you look at a pantone warm grey 9 for instance, it is the same as a putty which is beige. So there are extremes on the spectrum of greys that are actually beiges and likewsie some muted neutral beiges will be grey.
I think the issue here is more about semantics and fashion. We are 'sold' grey this, grey that, and then next season we are sold that its not grey we wants now anywore that its actually beige.
Its like with taupe. Same thing.

I'm sorry. I thought it was a troll thread. Accept the apology and lets just move on please. I know when I've done wrong and I'm man enough to admit it.
Just get back on track now please and stop victimising me.

fuck you for reducing everything to a question of troll or not. this is the real cancer in this place; either you are asking about "normal" safe subjects that can be directly and obviously linked to some current and standard thread of design or news, or you are a TV posting, look at her tits, drawing of a cock troll.
Just because I choose to drill further into the details and contemplate the intellectual depths of the problems inherent in the things we take to be the white noise of social normality, do not call me a fucking troll and assume that I am taking the piss
