mahogany
A very dark orange facade color with some brown, darker and less brown than ochre, represented by hex triplet C04000.
Mahogany is a very dark shade of orange, usually darker than ochre but not as brown. It is a common shade for brick, painted facades, and for copper before it oxidizes.
Hex triplet: C04000
The shade differs from the duller, browner ochre. The name does not require mahogany wood. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
