Deep Mahogany Red
RAL 240 20 20 Deep Mahogany Red sits at hue 240, lightness 20, and chroma 20 in the RAL Design system, producing a very dark saturated red-orange that evokes the concentrated depth of aged mahogany heartwood and the last glow of charcoal embers. This intense tone is favoured for luxury furniture finishes, heritage panelling accents, and fine cigar lounge interiors. Its low lightness and moderate chroma create a colour that reads nearly black in shadow yet reveals a warm umber heart under direct illumination.
