Mahogany
Deep enough to feel architectural; warm enough to feel intentional. Mahogany is deep timber tone — a high-end paint shade with a warm undertone you can feel across the room and clear red-brown undertones. We see Mahogany specified most often for fireplace walls and bed-headboard recesses and small commercial offices and quiet rooms. It works beautifully with terracotta, brick, hand-thrown ceramics and warm timbers. The lineage is Edwardian, but the way it sits on a wall is unmistakably current.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Mahogany make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Mahogany actually blur a room's edges, making walls feel further away rather than closer. The trick is to wrap the colour onto skirting and trim so there are no high-contrast lines to remind the eye where the room ends.
What sheen options come in Mahogany?+
Mahogany is tinted into your choice of dead-matt, soft eggshell or low-sheen satin. For rooms with high handling — hallways, kitchens — we'd usually recommend eggshell.
What does Mahogany pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Mahogany with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, pairs with reclaimed bricks, walnut, copper, and undyed linen.
