A quick shout out here to kvell about my new VS!!!
From Art's cache of early 1950's NOS felt, a color they called "Mahoot." I couldn't turn up much info about that color or even the word (although a mahout is an elephant jocky).

This color is simply sublime. Very much like the color of Art's light weight Black cherry, it has much more distinctly brown component. And the colors can appear dramatically different depending on the light. The effect is illustrated by the shade variations in the three photos.

Very nice, sir!!!

I asked Art about that color and he had one body left. So one guess as to what I did......

The ribbon looks charcoal gray in the first two photos. Can you tell us what color it is?
