This is 1000% not a true taupe color. It is, through and through grey and white. No tinge of tans/browns. So, if you're looking for a true neutral/taupe, this is not for you. I would've returned my order, immediately, had someone not installed a couple of my rolls already.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that this product did not live up to your expectations. As colors can vary monitor to monitor, we recommend ordering a sample to ensure that the color of the wallpaper is what is desired.
