When did we combine the color grey and beige together.....come on, can't something be either light grey or light beige? It is bad enough all the catch phrases, ie....fierce, awesome, stunning, etc, etc, etc.

 

 

Sorry OP, but you're a little out of the loop .... Greige has been around for a very long time ......  if I had to put a very fine point on it, greige is a darker version of taupe ... they aren't the same color.

I think combining gray and beige is light taupe!  Gray combined with brown is taupe and has been for a long time.

They didn't just make that up.  I know that word for the color has been around since I got interested in clothes as a teen in the 60s.

I was a teen in the 60's and never heard that word then or now to describe two colors meshed. Again, in the 60's I lived in a podunk town and still do.LOL

I have a bottle of Sally Hanson nail polish named 'Greige'.

It's quite nice...
