Reading through a design and construction website, I found an article about how Sherwin-Williams has picked its color of the year for 2017.
(If you can't stand the suspense of having to click through, it's "Poised Taupe" ... aka BEIGE.)
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

"Poised Taupe"
I really prefer "Socially Awkward Taupe", it's more subtle.

Poised taupe? Dear lord. (It's a darker color than I would've thought, but...still. If that's 2017 I'm not super interested in the future)
Too much work. Not enough motivation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Poised taupe" is certainly my phrase of 2017!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.

I like the color, but that's probably because I've gotten used to it over the past few years that it's been popular. (It's basically a darker "greige," right?) A thing I recognize about myself is that I eventually like most popular things.

I think it is pinker than greige. I actually like the color too- I painted my apartment variations on that color in 1999.

I love me some greige. At least on my nails.

Taking another look at the actual color, I find myself once more standing with Zen.
That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.
That color makes me twitchy. A lighter beige/off-white is a good background for bright pictures and things, but that color is just an oppressive lurking thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I kind of like it. But it would depend on what other colors were in the room.
