... I always think of mahogany looking like this ...
It seems that mahogany's colour (and grain pattern) will also change depending on the variety of wood used. African mahogany can be quite pale; West Indian mahogany dark red-brown; Central American Santos runs from golden through to burgundy; etc. Presumably, woods from India or the Philippines will be different again.
BTW, the colour of mahogony may also darken with age. So, a vintage boat may well look difference now as compared with when it was built.
