I put the question out there and you have answered!
First, the demographics. I had responses from 15 different genders, the most unexpected of which was “taupe”.
I had responses from 16 difference ages, 13 of which involved numbers.
People left a variety of comments. They broke down like this:
Why did no one comment “2”? Weird.
Not surprisingly there was a unanimous response to the goblin shark question. That was the easiest question ever.
There was also a selection of other feedback. Apparently respondents suspected deception. Hmm. Also, it seems questions about colours are popular with almost 50% of people who answer questions about taupe.
I got an interesting collection of answers describing “taupe”. I decided to remove fluff words such as “the”, “like”, “ish”, “not”, “dark”, “light” and just strip things down to bare bones. Then I created a word cloud out of them where word frequency is represented by the size of the word. This is the result:
Wikipedia says “a dark grayish brown or brownish gray” so I guess the masses (26 responses) were collectively rather close to the answer developed by the even larger collective that created wikipedia. Nice work collective!

Something you might find interesting, Grace feel things in colour, like when she’s being pushed on the swing and she’s going really high, it makes her fell white and something, I don’t remember what, makes her feel yellow. I’m not sure what that means, but I find it very interesting. Not sure if she’ll ever use the word taupe though, maybe when she’s bored?
Haha. Awesome.
