Well, Pooka and Bob, it looks like "vous avez raison et j'ai tort." I've checked a number of sources and they all say "mouse" is "souris" and "taupe" is "mole." Alors, pardonnez-moi.

Re color, though, it's pretty much the same thing.

Herga, if you had a chap from Kuwait toting a certain kind and color of guitar around, he could be "a Kurd and a Guild of beige," right?
