Taupe: It’s Not Just For The Oval Office Anymore
Whether it’s politics or business one thing remains the same: if you are designated or perceived as the leader, everything you say or do is viewed with an eye searching for obvious and hidden meanings. While at the same time the higher the level or more commanding the position, that search goes from the naked eye to one looking via an electron microscope.
Words matter, the way they are said can matter even more, yet what is just as important is the posture, and yes – that can include even your choice of attire.
Leadership can be very symbolic in its application for consumption. We hear all the time the running line “they wrap themselves in the flag” and so forth to describe politicians and others. So is it any wonder that when the leader of the free world takes to the podium during what by all credible standards is a world on the edge of unrest shows up wearing not the traditional dark suit and red or blue tie but – light tan, people from all walks say, “What the ____ is up with that?”
The reaction was near instantaneous across social media channels. The knee jerk over whelming first responses were (to be kind) a projection of weakness. The contrast between the surrounding stage set used in the press room and the tan suit was glaring. So much and so out-of-place did it seem that one couldn’t help to think of anything else but, why? Was this just some fashion faux pas? Personally I don’t think so.
If people will remember one of the first highly visible changes of note made for all the world to take notice, was the complete gelding of the oval office and all its symbolic tones of color with a complete overhaul to neutral. i.e., Taupe.
It can’t be underestimated just how much of a message is being intentionally sent when one of the first acts is to take what is considered the most powerful and important office in the world, and completely change or strip away any essence of it and replace it with muted tones of taupe.
The oval office today is now a more neutered, bland, unappealing a washed in hotel ballroom-esque neutral tones of beige. It’s not what many are accustomed to remembering.
So bland is the office today that it seems we never see the president speak from it. In nearly 6 years I can only recall one. Taupe doesn’t make for good television, but the symbolic nature for people who are received in that office would be overwhelmingly obvious. The new red white and blue – is taupe.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with this administration or not doesn’t matter. I’m not discussing policy here. What I am talking about applies to any and all leadership.
Symbolism matters, especially when you’re at the highest of levels trying to project or convey messages across oceans and cultures. And what I’m trying to convey is just my observations, for I’m in the “leadership” business per se.
When businesses or executives find themselves unable to move their companies or people in the direction they want more often than not it boils right down to the what, and how the leader of that organization is presenting themselves, and what mixed messages he/she are sending. Even if the company has thousands of people. The leader is the avatar, and their public behavior (good or bad) is what will be amplified by the ranks. Period.
The issue at hand is when this messaging gets mixed, or in other words, the very people you think know what you mean – take it as the opposite.
What makes matters even worse is when people who you believe won’t even notice , or you’ve overlooked their interpretation of it all together in your calculus amplify the worst of intended meanings. i.e., Not only did your intended audience read you wrong, but so too did everyone else with even more disdain.
Currently we have Russia by all accounts invading and engaging in real warfare with Ukraine. Add to this the threats from ISIS. (or ISIL if you prefer) China flexing its military in a thumbing of the nose fashion with air to air engagements with war planes along with telegraphed over tones of discontent with once seemingly undisputed areas of territory. (the islands near Japan and others) The ongoing and ever increasingly volatile Israel/Hamas engagement. Along with the myriad of other ongoing issues. e.g., cyber attacks, U.S. border challenges, civil unrest, just to name a few.
This is where leaders of any stripe need to show and convey the message that they are either in control, or project an image of that control via words or symbolism. And on the world stage – every detail matters and conveys a message. And, this is where academia (or academics) get it wrong all the time.
They play or convey their message as if only the people watching are the people they are trying to trying to speak to. They are stunningly tone-deaf and usually blindsided by responses to their messaging because they can’t see past their own noses. (just look to any Federal Reserve explanation of monetary policy as a reference)
I could be wrong but unlike most I don’t feel the donning of that taupe suit was a fashion faux pas. I believe it was a deliberate act for symbolic effect to telegraph a message they want remembered by whomever they were trying to reach.
From my way of thinking it fits if you look at it through what words or messaging accompanied it. Words and tones such as (I’m paraphrasing) “We have yet to define a strategy, Congress will be involved and they’re not due back till next week, we’re not sure if that is true,” and so on.
With the United States on the eve of a major holiday I believe a signal was trying to be sent that resembled,” Hey, we’re not going to do anything provocative, remember I’m/we’re the guy’s that toned down the oval office, remember? It’s the same color as this suit, remember? I want to assure you we’re not going to do anything provocative during this long weekend, and we want to make sure you remember we want to “talk first.” Remember?
This is the reason why I feel the color of choice for that press conference was taupe. (or subdued shades of beige if you prefer) It was sending a visual cue to all that we are not fiercely red, white, and blue. We are taupe. Just look at our most important room of honor and power to back this up was the messaging being conveyed in my opinion.
The real issue and problem with this messaging is if the people who it was intended to reach (i.e., other world leaders) receive it and view it the same way as the people the president represents. As “weak and embarrassing.”
Agree or not with the policies, but the decision for that suit in my opinion was anything but a faux pas, it was intentional.
What really matters in the end will be just how much of an error in judgment it turns out to be. For all our sakes, I hope it winds up to be no more than a detail on a Joan Rivers Fashion Police™ tape.

But taupe is such a gay-friendly color. Yes, we tan.
Once when I was sick, seeing my doctor, she was trying to get me to describe the color of phlegm that I was coughing up. We finally settled on taupe. The only thing we remained uncomfortable about was that it was chewy. One doesn't normally think of taupe as chewy.
At least he didn't wear it after Labor Day. What a scandal that would have been.
(This is a ZH story??)
I thought it was white shoes or something, that you can't wear after Labor Day.
Moar white than right.
Oooaahh, that certainly is a gamechanger.
Only Obumboy could make Cameron look like a fucking hero....
LOL. I know this has people shook up. Maybe I can help.
Obama has dark skin and a taupe suit 'works' with his skin tone. Or he forgot to pack his dark grey suit. Or Michelle dressed him. Or it's another one of Biden's practical jokes. Or Obama is going through his 'taupe' period. Or Obama lost weight and his other suits don't fit. Or he needed a suit that worked with brown shoes. Or it's a summer weight suit and it's summer.
Hope this helps people get over this.
What's it like being a complete fraud your entire life...I mean be it Bush, Obama....what does that feel like? I would want to murder someone if my life put me through that bullshit. Oh wait....
Taupe is Dope, but I loves the green look
hugs,
reggie <3
Obama looks marvelous in a suit. I like wonderful when I don a cod-piece. Don't hate the playas.
Desert camo contains a lot of taupe. Suppose Obama showed up in desert camo? How would he be seen then? Strong leader? Statesman? Kick ass?
Jeez, enough with the militarized fashion police, already.
Too bad people didn't make a stronger push for granddad back in '08. Yeah the world would be a cinder pile and granddad would have to address us from the Fuhrer bunker deep under Denver airport. But at least he'd be wearing a dark gray straight-jacket with a red power tie.
Nice.
Yeah, it was a good thing that Obama kept us out of that stupid Ukraine misadventure, and prevented the arming of ISIS with MIC playthings. Taupe, like mocha, is such a peaceful color. What is actually too bad, is our absolute boxed in lack of choice.
Ah, cut him some slacks, he is just taking advantage of the fact that Joan Rivers can't critique him right now.
What do you mean? You're choices have expanded to grey, blue or taupe.
It's a beige alert!

Sorry, couldn't resist this bit from Futurama (the planet Neutral)
"Kif, what makes a man turn neutral?"
Excellent observations, MalteseFalcon.
Fortunately for Obama it gives him a huge distraction when everything he touches lately turns negative. But in my opinion this one should have been a positive. When he told America that there is “no strategy” yet for dealing with Syria, IMO, while it was the first time that he was ever candid since first elected and should have been a positive for him, even that turned negative.
Not only the warmongers but all of the media interpreted that as weakness; thinking he’s got to have a war strategy (and if they do have a strategy it probably will be wrong; for sure it will be deadly for its innocent victims).
“No strategy” of course to the warmongers means a delay before they can be bombing innocent villagers and slaughtering wedding parties. Obama’s wish to do something bold for immigration (written by Executive Order Czar John Podesta) also is turning negative with the Democrats who, instead of worrying about what’s good for America, are afraid amnesty means they lose in the midterms.
P.S. Although I have no problem with Obama in so-called “taupe,” it does make him look grayer and, not just older, but old.
Err...Emmm...
How can I say this...
This particular ZH think piece is Taupe
Moar ,, please spell the word right ...More.... that spelling is a sign of your trying to impress with a spelling that is something for the trying to impress ..crowd
This is just a shit-sandwich article. Wrap the lie in something innocuous or easy to digest.
We have this pablum about taupe and then there's this -
Currently we have Russia by all accounts invading and engaging in real warfare with Ukraine.
Plant the false meme where ever you can is the new, more subtle program, because the rapid, head-on, in your face lies approach is not working like it used to.
i totally agree. seemed just like it to me. also the isis bogeyman right behind it.
i wish the foreign policy of this war criminal was kind of taupe. we could use some of that, not to mention the poor bastards under the drones, and their kids and wives and . . . .
he should come out looking like the floor of liege airport: http://rt.com/news/183932-protest-airport-blood-belgium/
Beat me to it. The whole paragraph was a plant.Right from propaganda 101.

Steeeeeeeraigayht for the San Francisco Chronicle, the definitive word on the gay blade's summer suit. After all, he was wearing it before Labor Day, as if he's any empathy with said national holiday of toiling barely scraping about peasantry, but I loose myself....
And note the author's name.
It fits (get it, fits?)
http://blog.chron.com/shopgirl/2014/08/so-whats-wrong-with-president-oba...
PS. Read it to the end, for there are several examples of outfits in which he'd have looked equally as good.
Obama looks like he has AIDS. Doctor says he's 180 pounds, looks about 130 to me.
One could hope.
Outfit #8 is cute,but is that a belt or his dick?I couldn't tell.
And outfit #33 looked like what my mother wore to lunch on Mother's Day.Vert retro...
Dude, seiously, Yuck... LoL, I will remember this experience and likely, in the future, use it on my Doc...
Fungal infection...that's what that sounds like. Could lead to complex problems throughout your whole being. Oil of Oregano, apple cider vinegar 4 tbs with big glass of filtered water two times a day. Sorry, try to cut meats, poultry or other blood derived protein. It takes the bad bacteria to digest meat. Think what that does. Hair loss, tooth loss, vision problems, leg and foot, nail fungus...on and on.
I think you've got taupe confused with mauve.
Or a neutral puce
Maybe leopard print to match the new decor in the Lincoln bedroom.
Spear and shield optional.
Spear shield loin cloth and bone thru nose
Obama in a loin cloth!
Somebody shoot me.
Oh Winnie, now you've gone and done it.
I just had to do a search for Puce Spear and Shield an' lookie wut I findz, bro!

Chartreuse indicates chlorophyll in yer throat/lungs!
I agree....Taupe can work for a younger, darker black man...but with gray Oboso, its like a blond guy wearing Taupe...
What is really surprising is that this is actually a ZH article topic...and that "we" here wasting time on it....I'm done.
No no no no no no noooooo
This is when the fun starts.
This looks the color of Michael Jackson's face.

We're getting warmer.
See like next time you're bored in good mixed company and want to start some havoc, gather the ladies about (best after about 1/2 bottle of Southern Comfort apiece) and ask them to describe the color taupe. They simply cannot do it and will not be able to agree ion a damned thing.
To wit:

Taupe and Gange baby
The Audacity of Taupe
As mentioned, taupe is a fairly common color, for Boogers!
Favorite joke from childhood: Didja hear about the pollack who picked a 10 lb booger? Before he could eat it, his head collapsed!
Maybe the strategies are on the down low!
It was nothing but a devious distraction, a "shiny object" to divert attention.
It seems to have worked- a lot of time has been wasted talking about the meaningless suit instead of the real issue: iSis.
See the above article for a good example of the diversion.
Obama can try to be as neutral/taupe as he wants but the European heads and Arab sheikhs are determined to drag us, kicking and screaming?, into their fights. This is gonna be one heck of an Armageddon: fighting war and pestilence simultaneously.
Particularly in taupe suits, for the color taupe is notorious for showing the least dirt, stains and smudges.
A taupe colored turd can indicate a high fat diet, or Cdiff infection...
I'm a man. I have no idea what color taupe is. Show a picture for the rest of us, eh? Most of us are so concerned with minor matters such as government spying; attacks on the Constitution; threats of war; drought; social decay. Educate us petty folk. Taupe suit seems to be important to this poster. Don't know why...
I'm with 29.5.
I've heard of the 'colors' taupe, puce and muave...but have no idea where they fall on red blue yellow black spectrum. Please translate into one of the basic colors.
As in: Taupe is a light, light red.
Puce is a bright, bright yellow.
Prezidont Ebola is grey...a mix of white and black.
Taupe is just another name for Biege
Obama is simply trying to project soft power...
and he is doing a bang up job of it....
Yes, we tan!
This is exactly what his fashion coach comes up with when the entire world is sick of hearing the same bullshit out of his mouth in a dark blue or grey suit.
Will it work? You can switch from painting poop pink to another color like purple, and display it on a pedestal instead of a doily. It still is what it is.
I hate to re-post, but this article begs for it.
The suit was not Taupe. Taupe is 50% brown, 50% white.
So is the President.
Now, I've been informed relentlessly that our President is black. Therefore, a suit (or a backdrop), that is 50% brown and 50% white is black.
Black suits exude gravitas. You guys missed that nuance when POTUS looked (to you) like a 9th-grader graduating from middle school.
Me... I thought his black suit was quite fetching.
Shades of Taupe:
http://50shadesoftaupe.com/uploads/3/3/2/8/3328899/4802634_orig.jpg
I see pink, grey, blue, and yellow.
Does taupe mean a flat version of any color?
What is this "we" shit. You, maybe. not me.
It's the Audacity of Taupe.
I simply cannot wait for Josh Earnest (great fucking name for the president's spokesperson.... that's not a mistake.... can't be....) to start backtracking on tan suits, power, Labor Day, ISIS, the rainbow coalition and Joan Rivers' mysterious taking ill being a warning to all other "folks" might dare make tranny jokes about Mike.
Progressivism is a mental disease. Take your non-partisan rhetoric and jump out of a 10 story building. Hell, you can use my 15th floor Myrtle Beach Pad. It has a 20 ft long balcony you can waddle around on before you jump to your death. Sorry, you can't use the other place. You won't die falling from the 3rd floor.
Here's another gay pussy wearing a tan suit: http://banter.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/reagan_...
Brown is not taupe.. .dumbass
Or even tan, for that matter.
I am in the coatings business...Taupe is likely a mix of "organic" and "inorganic" colorants. Inorganics are your "earth tones" including such colors as "raw umber" (likely a large part of a Taupe). But it's the cutting edge "organics" made in labs that give it that WOW, that out of this world pizzaz. So in closing, Taupe is part muted earth tones, but spiced up with the latest test tube glow in the dark gay ass bullshit.
Perfect, right?
Reagan is wearing a brown herringbone worsted wool suit, very traditional, with a fabric heritage traceable to the huntsmen of Scotland.
Obama is shown in a beige cotton blend summer suit with a heritage traceable to...what?...Nantucket? Sounds about right. It's well-tailored but the fabric and color are as lightweight as the wearer.
You looked on Google for a picture of Reagan or Bush in a "tan" suit, and posted that, because you thought the two suits were a close match. That says all one needs to know about your understanding of matters sartorial.
Guys like Putin and Li Keqiang look at this mom-jeans dandy being walked by his own dog and laugh. Then they sit back down at their Risk boards and move another pile of little colored cubes forward.
I logged in just to tell you what a great comment this was.
I suppose the tan suit was meant to project neutrality. Puke.
Might as well have been pink seer-sucker.
I heard Lena Dunham borrowed his pink tutu skirt for the Emmy's and didn't give it back.
Pink jodhpurs.
This Dickhead is NOT a leader. He has no leadership skills. He, by good or bad fortune, has found himself occupying the office of " Leader of the Free World" and he is without a doubt, clueless.
He may be smart. He may be deliberative and thoughtfull. But he can't make a meaningfull decision to save his life. Analysis Paralysis, that what he has. Add to that he is a liberal pinhead, and we're really fucked. He got elected because his skin is black. Period. 97% of the blacks! and enough stupid, guilty whites put him over the hump. He can't even believe the people were this stupid, betcha!
The only dignified thing he is doing, is not resigning, and giving the throne to an even BIGGER Dickhead, thank fucking God.
Lead, follow or get the fuck out of the way. This idiot is doing 45 in the left lane with his blinker on.
A great color to accent that attitude/ability you describe is gamboge; kinda like a transparent spicy mustard but a little bit darker.
That or colostomy#2.
Chancy Gardener
excellent, stant, well done... an exchange from 'Being There' set, interestingly enough, in DC
President [played by Jack Warden]: Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
Chance the Gardener ["Chauncy Gardner" played by Peter Sellers]: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President: In the garden.
Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President: Spring and summer.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
President: Then fall and winter.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
Benjamin Rand [played by Melvyn Douglas]: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!
Benjamin Rand: Hmm!
Chance the Gardener: Hmm!
President: Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time.
President: I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.
I've seen the movie "Being There" and I know Chauncy Gardner.
Mr. Presidnet you are no Chauncy Gardner!
All turban, no goat herd.

I like the author's use of the phrase 'leaders of any stripe' - a nice yellow down the back looks very chic against taupe.
The light tan suit with matching accessory briefcase might be okay but the red with white fur trim Santa Clause style jockey shorts are just a bit much.

Clearly this writer should stick to discussing fashion and interior decorating.
It's his new look inspired by other Banana Republic dictators.
TAUPE: Gray with a tinge of brown. Best descriped as the appearance your previously white jockey shorts take on after you've worn them for a week and a half straight.
'nuff said!
Finally a description I can identify!
This suit makes him look blacker. Just sayin'.
Taupe can be Olive and Code as well.

All about taupe poop....

For fuck's sakes, please don't tell me there's a color 'code'!
What the f#ck is he supposed to wear? His pink Hello Kitty g-string and his Reggie Man-Gravy shirt? I for one thank Buddha he sticks with suits, regardless of the (lack of) power message it sends.
There's even a Hello Kitty G-String by Borat (Third one down)
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=kitty+g+string
Y ou're always safe with Nixon gray, or was it bluish against the 5 o'clock shadow?
Taupe is also a code phrase for "I'm fucking out of here a/k/a I'm a lame black swan.....errrr duck....and you can't do a damn thing about it...
The word derives from the French noun taupe meaning "mole".
Ah hah! No Secret Santa for Him!
Already surreptitiously outing himself as the Manchurian Candidate and Anti-Christ in summer clothing!
Looks like a master on a sugar plantation
Nah, just the overseer.
I guess it's kind of appropriate to be focusing on what the guy is wearing rather than anything he might of said , he's really nothing but a suit. Ironic sort of that taupe is "mole" in french. So who's he's really working for ?
All of my Brook Brothers suits are black, gray or blue. I remember picking out this dark olive green design. It was the popular color at the time. Common sense kicked in, and I handed it back to the BB sales representative. I knew that color of a suit wouldn't last long for fashion purposes. Always stick with traditional colors.. Winks.
Sure seems like they've been bringing out the softness in the president lately. Could it be they are setting up his exit from the closet before his term is over - our first openly gay president?
Green eggs and ham - Sam I am flopped. I've forgotten what LGBT round this is? Persistent free shit for me degenerative possey. Wait until they have to dodge bullets heading for the next rally.
Light pink would also work.
Doesn't the Queen look fab?
Aint much else to him.
The Color is Desert Sand. It's a message to ISIS-"we are Muslim Bothers".
That looks a lot like George Jefferson's suit. Took a whole lotta tur-rayin just to get up the hill. Now we in the big leagues, getting our turn at bat. As long as it's you and me baby, there ain't nuttin wrong wid that... Damn, we elected a negro...
"Damn, we elected a negro......"
Twice!
Simple, Nazi, Hilter symbolism to show we've gone fascist.
That color makes him look like a pussy. Or maybe being a pussy makes him look like a pussy. Ah shit, our prez is a puss.
I havent seen the pictures yet. I need pictures god damnit!
I'm surprised he doesn't come out dressed like a pimp, or the whore he is.
Taupe, what is that? A little brown mixed with a little white?
I think it doesn't matter what he wears.
The suit looks fine.
The emperor still has no clothes though. Why bother commenting on the fashion?
What I want to know is why he didn't wear searsucka!
With that summer tan suit on Obama looks as gay as Christmas...
The color swatch for the fabric reads: Sandtrap Camo
Straying a bit, but....saw the title and thought,
"Did they refer to it, during the clinton period, as the oral office?"

That's the same colour suit as Adolph Hitler wore.

This article is the very proof that the USA's politics are about nothing else than the art of selling wars through endless communication tricks or "narratives". No real policies, no plans for the country, no ideas but war war war.
That author is unhappy because of what he sees as a mistake in the war communication but symptomatically, the poor sucker doesn't think for a second of questioning the relevance of the US wars politics. An acute case...
Not good because taupe is not warlike enough? What about dressing the entire State Department in ISIL uniforms? Would that do for looking suitably menacing?
Poor America...
"So is it any wonder that when the leader of the free world"
----
And this phrase illustrates the problem that libertarians and anarchist have. A truly free world would have no such leader. Yet, any time multiple people gather, a leader is created. And that eventually leads to form of government that grows over the years and is out of control.
Quite frankly, I am not sure there is really freedom unless you are a hermit.
"Quite frankly, I am not sure there is really freedom unless you are a hermit."
You're mistaking two notions: freedom and utter loneliness.
I thought it meant: "Desert Storm X"
He couldn't resist the jos a bank, buy one get 4 plus a taupe suit and an ice cream free. He's a sucker for door busters.
