[edit] Standard mahogany color
I found various possible definitions at [1] which appears to be about embroidery thread:
| Mahogany-VY LT | 255 190 164 |
#FFBEA4 |
|---|---|---|
| Mahogony-LT | 221 109 91 |
#DD6D5B |
| Mahogany-MD | 209 102 84 |
#D16654 |
| Mahogany-DK | 157 60 39 |
#9D3C27 |
| Mahogany-VY DK | 143 57 38 |
#8F3926 |
Oddly enough none of them are displaying in my browser :-( I found another one here, and corrected my bad syntax for the template:
| Mahogany | 192 64 0 |
#C04000 |
|---|

To whoever sees the above question, here is the response:
If you mix a color with white, it is called a tint. If you mix a color with black, it is called a shade. Among the colors above, the tints of the color are on top and the shades are towards the bottom. All of the articles red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet have the variant that is neither a tint nor a shade, and so I say this article should follow the same rule. Any objections??
