Can someone accurately describe Cigare Force?

This shade looks almost black on the official Bal website but on MyTheresa, it looks like a gorgeous rich and warm-toned brown. Nowhere near to me is carrying this shade so if I was to purchase, it would be online. I'm not a fan of the dark and almost cold shade it is portrayed as on the Bal website but it looks gorgeous on MyTheresa.

Can anyone tell me which kind of brown this shade leans towards, or possibly post some photos which accurately reflect the shade.

Thanks!

I don't know if this will help - I saw it in Brown Thomas Dublin a couple of weeks ago. It reminded me if a chocolate brownie! That rich fudgey colour.

I saw it in Brown Thomas too!

And I agree, it is a gorgeous rich and warm brown shade - slightly darker than mahogany but equally lovely. Not at all a cold brown. HTH!

I love this rich brown color. Like fudge brownie. I saw it on a Day with Giant GH and loved it.
HTH!

I saw it in Neiman Marcus about two months ago and remember thinking at the time that it did not have "red" tones. I had Mogano on my mind at the time so I was comparing it to that. The one I was looking at was a RH City. Gold hardware may give it a different look/tone.

Oh wow, thanks everyone! I'm glad to hear it's a rich brown and those photos were really helpful! The way the Bal website portrays it is really not great at all, I'd never buy it based on those photos so I'm glad to know it's nowhere near as cold and flat as it appears to be!

I really love it. It was nearly impossible to switch out of it! It's a great neutral, everyday color.
