Mahogany is a straight‑grained, reddish‑brown timber produced by three tropical hardwood species of the genus Swietenia, native to the Americas and belonging to the pantropical chinaberry family, Meliaceae. The term refers specifically to wood from Swietenia macrophylla, Swietenia mahagoni, and Swietenia humilis. Of these, S. macrophylla is the most widespread and the only species widely grown commercially.

Red

Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–750 nanometers. It is a primary color in the RGB color model and a secondary color in the CMYK color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy.
