Reddish-brown like mahogany

A deeply rooted red tone, whose warm woody notes create a sophisticated, dense color mood with a calm heaviness.

Acajou 415 unfolds a warm, earthy red with great depth and controlled saturation. The warmth is intense, yet not garish, conveying stability and inner coherence. Its character is reminiscent of aged wood and muted spice nuances, creating an atmospheric density and subtle drama.

Among velvet colors, this is my favorite autumn and winter shade, bringing the sunshine of an entire year into the colder seasons. Acajou is pure November cheer. In cultural and design history, this shade of red appears in furniture finishes, traditional lacquers, and brocade textiles. In fashion, it represents luxurious materials like velvet, brushed wool, or dark silk. In interior design, it pairs beautifully with heavy natural fabrics, dark wood, and graphic metal accents. In color compositions, it provides visual grounding and is particularly well-suited to intimate, structured spaces dominated by muted yet expressive hues.
