Happily "teal" and "taupe" aren't vague fashion labels but creatures, the colours of which can plainly be seen.
Taupe, above, in English a mole, whose coat is midway between grey and brown.
Teal, below, is a bird, the colour-name "teal" coming from that small bit of greenish-bluish feathers.
The hose that Cheviot calls "bison" would be called "taupe" by many Americans. Here are mine:
As to the bison, they're sort of tri-coloured, so you have options.
