RAL 8016
Mahogany Brown
RAL 8016 Mahogany Brown is a dark, luxurious brown named after the prized tropical hardwood that has been the gold standard of fine furniture making since the 18th century. This rich, reddish-dark brown conveys opulence and craftsmanship, making it a preferred choice for premium furniture finishing, executive interiors, and classic yacht woodwork simulation. Mahogany Brown delivers the appearance of this increasingly rare and protected timber species on sustainable metal and composite substrates.
