Taupe beige mushroom

It was a sorry day when I first started skimming the color ad supplements in the Sunday paper. I went for years without giving them a thought and that's the way it should have stayed. How said to think that the national curtain and bedspread color, if one is to believe the Penney and Sears promotions, is some variation on a muddy shade of brownish something-or-other. Is this the favorite color scheme of our nation? If so, that's a depressing thought.
