What colour is havana?

[flyingfeet]

Had a mad American who thinks we have mis-sold an item so what colour do you think havana is??

 

[Cop-Pop]

I always thought it was a dark brown - isn't light reddish colour cherry something?

 

[Theresa_F]

Very dark brown, the light red is "london tan".

Dark brown in England, reddy brown in US.

Well here's the interesting thing - its all Stubben's fault. They sell red oak as havana in America

I always thought havana was referring to havana cigars, so is a nice deep brown.

We are about to get stuffed by PayPal for goods being not as described despite putting "Havana = (dark brown)" in the listing.... damn americans..

Yes Stubbens havana is reddy brown and Stubben calls what we call havana, choco.

However havana is generally reddish over here in North America.

I made that mistake with my stubben bridle!!

So were you selling Stubben leather work? If not then I don't see how you would have to refund them via paypal for calling dark brown havana! Esp when you also added that it meant dark brown :s

As has been said, it depends on the manufacturer. Stubben Havanna is a redy brown & chocco is dark brown. In many English makes Havanna is dark brown & then come a variety of other shades...Australian Nut, London Tan etc etc.
