I think it is pinker than greige. I actually like the color too- I painted my apartment variations on that color in 1999.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I love me some greige. At least on my nails.

Taking another look at the actual color, I find myself once more standing with Zen.
That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.
That color makes me twitchy. A lighter beige/off-white is a good background for bright pictures and things, but that color is just an oppressive lurking thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I kind of like it. But it would depend on what other colors were in the room.

When I was a kid (5 to about 12), my room in my parents' house was almost that color. Only darker. When we moved in, my mother was on a beige kick and almost every room in the house was wallpapered in some variation - light beige with darker designs, medium beige with little rural scenes, and my room - solid dark. I remember once complaining that it was brown and my mother told me it was cafe au lait and I looked at her and said, "Mom, it's BROWN."

I was watching a Trading Spaces episode, and the owner opened her eyes at her new room and nearly cried. "I said I was hoping for any color than brown!" The woman host looked distressed and said "We thought you'd like the taupe." "Taupe?" "This color." "You mean, the brown?"

I'm with Zen. I hates it.

I'd just think that a Color of the Year would be a bit more ... exciting? inspiring? Something that you look at and think "yes! I must paint my room that color!"
Wonder what Pantone's color of the year will be ... if it's any shade of brown I'm going to give up.

That's not too far off from what I painted my bedroom, except the brand I used called it "nightingale grey." It's very soothing.
