Actress Lauren Bacall, the husky-voiced Hollywood icon known for her sultry sensuality, died Tuesday. She was 89. Robbert de Klerk, co-managing partner of the Humphrey Bogart Estate, said Bacall died in New York.
Taupe (pronunciation: /ËtoÊp/ TOHP), otherwise known as beige-brown, is a dark tan color in-between brown and gray.ccording to the Dictionary of Color, the first use of taupe as a color name in English was in the early 19th century; but the earliest citation recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1911. The first recorded use of mouse as a color name in English was in 1606.
Taupe looks washed out when paired with the wrong colors, so know the effect you want as you play around with separates to find a flattering balance of color combination and style. Put together a soft, neutral look by using pastel colors and taupe. The darker the taupe pants, the lighter pastel top you want to use. The reverse applies; lighter pants balance better with darker pastels. Seafoam, lavender and lilac, light yellow, turquoise and coral tones work well with taupe.
