I chose the dark taupe, which I love. Don't know why they call it taupe, it is a grey, and a light one at that, but it is the most beautiful desk I have ever owned, and fits my decor perfectly.  For those that care, the drawers do not line up solidly when closed, they (evenly) extend a little past the desk itself, but it is not a defect, it slides and fits (consistently) and nicely. I absolutely love the clean lines and space of this unit.  I almost did not buy it because of the price and am VERY glad I did.
