Brownish-grey colour whose name derives from the French word for mole (5)

I believe the answer is:

taupe

(Other definitions for taupe that I've seen before include "Grey tinged with brown" , "Fifty Shades of Grey must include this" , "colour of moleskin" , "Brownish-grey colour" , "Greyish brown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
