When looking through boxes of hair dyes in the store, you often come across packaging that indicates the color "mahogany". "What is this?" – many think. Now we'll tell you. The fact is that this color “migrated” to the hair after it became fashionable in the interior, furniture, textiles and even musical instruments. And recently they began to make mahogany and mink coats.
West Indian
Initially, the word "makhon" or "swallowtail" was called the tree Swietenia mahagoni, which grows in the Caribbean. When cut, it gives a pink color that darkens over time. When processed - especially polished - this wood has a reddish color with soft, shimmering golden highlights.
Furniture made from it looks especially luxurious. There are a number of other types of trees that have the color of mahogany. These are Indian sipo, African sapele, New Zealand kohe-kohe. All of them are united under the name "mahogany". This material is smooth, no cavities, durable. Therefore, it is made fromonly panels for interior cladding, but also elegant furniture. When struck, wood produces a soft, warm sound and has good acoustic properties. Mahogany is used to make the bodies of guitars, violins, and even drums.
Mahogany Boom
Somewhere in the middle of the 18th century in Europe and America, the high point of mahogany came. It has become a symbol of we alth and luxury. Particularly rich people ordered it for their palaces and made parquet from it. The mahogany color was so popular that textiles were dyed with it. Wood-exporting countries profited like never before. Therefore, Swietenia mahagoni flaunts on the coat of arms of Belize and is the national symbol of the Dominican Republic.
Mahogany color in the interior
Mahogany gives the atmosphere a festive look, strictly contours the furniture and at the same time creates cosiness with shimmering highlights. It is used for facing clubs, offices, receptions of influential officials. Mahon goes well with other woods - dark, bleached oak and rustic, walnut. But for this, the room must be bright enough. Otherwise, designers advise using a combination of mahogany and beech. This will make the design more budget-friendly.
Blonde, brunette, mahogany
Triggering the class of designers and cabinetmakers, mahogany migrated to the world of beauty.
Ordinary chestnut hair seems to be filled with energy, dynamics, light, when golden-red sparks of machaoni slip through it. This colorliterally modifies a woman: she seems strong-willed, passionate, desirable. But blondes by nature are not recommended to buy this paint - a corny red color will come out. Also, this shade will not suit women with very fair skin - facial features will become inexpressive.
Mahogany mink
As a result of the selection of brown and black mink, a new color of these furry animals has appeared. People who prefer to wear not artificial, but natural fur, can be satisfied: a fashionable shade of "mahogany" has appeared in the furrier's world.
The color of the fur coat has a rich chocolate hue with reddish-brown sparkles.
