Reddish brown

A rich, tobacco-inspired brown that combines warm earthiness, quiet nostalgia and a velvety surface effect.

Havana is a deep, warm brown with a reddish core, high color density, and low luminosity. The color appears earthy, substantial, and comforting without being heavy. Its distinctly warm tone makes materials appear closer to the viewer. From a perceptual psychology perspective, Havana conveys tranquility, stability, and a subtle sensuality reminiscent of patina. Associations range from cigar boxes and aged leather to dark woods and roasted coffee beans.

Havana 706 harks back to the history of classic men's tailoring, leather goods, and wood-paneled interiors. In fashion, the shade lends a deep, tactile presence to coats, welted shoes, and bags made of vegetable-tanned leather. In interior design, Havana is found in libraries, bars, intimate dining areas, or lobbies where a protective sanctuary is desired. Combined with cream, brass, and heavy fabrics, it evokes the atmosphere of subdued salons, but with a clear, contemporary interpretation. The shade unfolds its full effect on wood, leather, and textile wall coverings. When paired with bottle green, ink blue, mustard yellow, or off-white, it creates palettes that bridge the gap between classic clubs, modern restaurants, and sophisticated residential architecture.
