Ordered this wallpaper in taupe and wasn't quite sure how the color would turn out.  Generally, I think of taupe as being fairly warm/beige in undertone, but the picture on the website looked more gray.  In person, it was definitely overwhelmingly gray in color, possibly with a slight bluish hue to it.  That said, the picture doesn't do the complexity justice. Though there is some linen crosshatch texture to it, more predominant are metallic ribbons of silver, and some of a slightly gold beige color. 

It looks more glamorous in person than the picture would suggest.  That said, I do think it will require some finagling to get things to line up appropriately when hanging.  I have yet to head down that road, but will update my review when I do.  It's a heavy texture paper, which will hopefully make it easy to work with.
