52 weeks of colors challenge

The challenge launched by Luna Jubilee follows with this lovely color:

"Taupe" is the french word for mole. Its spelling is close to the italian "talpa" (mole), while its pronounciation remembers the spanish "topo" (mole). I guess moles has different shades, too ;)
I furnished 3 sets using proper wood and burl textures, and i wear 3 MEB outfits in different shades of taupe.

Mood Indigo
Barney Bigard, Duke Ellington, Irving Mills
(1930)

You ain't never been blue, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
Till you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh
Go along blues

I always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
And in the evening when the lights are low
I'm so lonely I could cry
For there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die

You ain't never been blue, no, no, no
You ain't never been blue
Till you've had that mood indigo
That feeling goes stealing down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh
Go along blues

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: SIENNA!

Outfit: MEB Penny; Furnishing: Melu Deco; Hair: W&Y 57

"Sienna is a form of limonite clay most famous in the production of oil paint pigments. Its yellow-brown colour comes from ferric oxides contained within. As a natural pigment, it (along with its chemical cousins ochre and umber) was one of the first pigments to be used by humans, and is found in many cave paintings (...) The name derives from the most notable Renaissance location for the earth, Siena, Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, "earth of Siena"
