I wear a lot of black, I am large busted so i try
and wear dark colors on top. I feel comfortable in black..... but being older i worry aout the harshness of the shade.

If you like the-sweater and the fit....I would keep both. You will regret it later if you send one back....
and then there is the shipping loss of $$$....
both taupe and Black are fabulous shades on you!

I consider black to be too harsh for someone with a very fair, pale complexion. I have similar coloring and never wear black tops for that reason. I'm not crazy about drab taupe either but it beats black.

I would go with the taupe as it is lighter and a more cheerful color!
@GAQShopr53. Taupe cheerful? Don't think I've ever seen a cheerful shade of taupe.

I think a lot of people think that taupe is a muddy color of yellow brown but it is not. It is a rich gray with some brownish pink thrown in to make it sunshiny. Very classy. On a scale of 1-10, class and colors, I rank black an 8, white a 9 and taupe a 10 (f they are all done properly, not trashy, but elegant).

As someone with fair hair skin and eyes I find taupe to be tricky. It has to be just the right shade! Black always works

Here is MaryBeth in black. She doesn't look "washed-out" to me or in black or any color she wears.
I would say it depends on makeup and/or accessories. Lots more pictures of MaryBeth below:
Here she is in a pale taupe:
Remember this?
Now this is more gray than actual taupe, but it may help:

@GingerPeach That dress you referred to as taupe does not look taupe to me. It looks like a greenish-yellow with an ivory lace over it, thus making it more in the yellowish brown family, not the gray-pink brown but that's just my idea of taupe. I think of taupe as difficult to distinguish from some grays.

That must be the way it looks on your own screen, @Nonametoday
I see zero green or yellow. Just a pale taupe. Taupe is basically grey/beige, as you know.
Do a search for MaryBeth Roe and check out all her images and this dress will pop up multiple times. It's the one she wore to her son's wedding.

@GingerPeach Thank you for clearing that up. Yes, it does look sort of limey on my screen under ivory lace.
