Mauve is a light grayish purple, reasonably likely to appear in the sky soon after sunset. Taupe is some sort of brown. I was bewildered by the top example at the wikipedia article—it’s much darker than what I think of as taupe. It turns out (page down a ways) that what I had in mind was sandy taupe—the Crayola version.
