What wood is red?

ten people will have at least eleven descriptions of the same wood color. Why? Because wood is not a single color (who has seen wood as red as a red flag and as white as white as white paper? ), or dark red brown, or light red and gray, and so on; In addition, there is no uniform standard for the positioning of wood color, so there will be at least eleven kinds of opinions in ten people's mouths.

Well, let's get down to business. Let's talk about red wood:

Purple-reddish brown-rosewood (the heartwood of new rosewood is bright red or orange at first, but turns purple-reddish brown after being exposed to the air for a long time; Old rosewood is purple and black); Reddish brown-rosewood (some are light yellow brown, orange brown, purple red and purple brown), fragrant wood, red rosewood (some heartwood is orange, light red brown, purple red, purple brown and dark brown) and thick skin incense (people call it pig blood wood, and its color is as dark red as pig blood); Orange-brown-flower palm wood (some heartwood millet brown, purple-red brown); Black purple reddish-black acid branch; Light red or grayish brown stripes sandwiched between black-ebony; Reddish brown yellowish beech; Water red-Toona sinensis, Toona sinensis, mahogany and Zizyphus jujuba; Reddish-brown dull-Melia azedarach; Light reddish brown-sassafras.
