Taupe leather question

[ViviV]

Hi there!

As I impatiently await the arrival of my leathers samples and continue to read the never ending wealth of information found in this forum, I was wondering if anyone out there can recommend an UNPROTECTED leather(s) in GR3 max (that's most we can afford) in a taupe or "mushroom" color such as the leather in this picture:

This is THE perfect color for my living room but this leather is discontinued. I've ordered samples from Duane in a couple leathers that might come close to the tone -if not necessarily as light or dark- but in the same "color family" if you will. I ordered Bari Taupe and Weston Sand. I don't think I ordered Pecos Topo but the more I look at it seems to be in that color family as well.

Can anyone recommend any other leathers (max gr3) that I should look at besides Weston Sand and Bari Taupe in a max GR3?

I realize most people don't order / choose this color of leather for their sofas (we're buying a sectional!) but maybe someone out there has or maybe someone has input, recommendations or photos they can share?

Much obliged ,
