What is the color of this piano? I'm looking for a more specific word than brown.
Also, how can I describe the grains in its wood?

It's Bechstein model 8, am I right?
I don't know if it's correct, but the similar color of this piano are:

Beaver - Beaver is a medium, grayish brown with a cool undertone. It is similar to, but cooler in tone than taupe.

Bistre - Bistre is a very dark, semi cool shade of brown with similarities to dark brown and coffee, though darker than both of these shades.


I know you have something about this.

I don't know if it's correct, but two words to describe the a similar color to that of this piano are:

Beaver - Beaver is a medium, grayish brown with a cool undertone. It is similar to, but cooler in tone than, taupe.

Bistre - Bistre is a very dark, semi-cool shade of brown with similarities to dark brown and coffee, though darker than both of these shades.

@Saski Uchiha - if you try to help other learners, you must indicate in your post that you are not a teacher. I have added it for you. Please note my corrections above. The underlined sentence means nothing and I don't know what you were trying to say.
