Yes. Brand new. All the decorators are gonna be on it. Get yours quick. It’s **GREIGE.** I’m assuming some grey beige blend. I’ve not found a picture that shows any more than a medium grey shade. (They couldn’t bore us with one, so two it is) So I’m not real sure what it is. I’m looking at an adult bean bag chair. Don’t get your shoestrings in a knot, _I’m just lookin’, I swear!!_ GREIGE is an offering. Looks awfully white. Will not do at all. Yours? ---

Our selling realtor insisted we repaint and recarpet in greige. Many places we looked at were redone in greige. We asked our buying realtor what people did when they bought a house. She said they ripped out and repainted all the greige. It’s a big capitalist scam that benefits only paint and rug sellers as far as I’m concerned. ---

My favorite is ultraviolet. But of visible colors, it’s that shade of blue they use for airport runway lights. ---

We asked our buying realtor what people did when they bought a house. She said they ripped out and repainted all the greige. It’s a big capitalist scam that benefits only paint and rug sellers as far as I’m concerned. We got around this by offering a “carpeting allowance” and raising our asking price by that much. It worked for us! I wish we’d had that when we bought this place, which had orange-and-yellow shag in the den and industrial blue berber in all the common areas. Bedrooms were red, green, and gold, respectively, and the tiled floors were hideous. At least the walls were all boring off-white. We remedied all of that in short order. And my favorite color is red. ---

Cobalt blue or eggplant. Neither of which are colors I would choose to paint my house… ---

Hey, @FairyChatMom that shag carpet is the bomb now. I know a person who bought a huge roll of it, brand new from back stock. It looks great in their house. They _rake_ it after vacuuming. So cool. 😀 ---
