Maroon (US & UK /məˈruːn/ mə-ROON,Australia /məˈroʊn/ mə-RONE) is a dark brownish red color which takes its name from the French word marron, or chestnut.
The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as "a brownish crimson or claret color."
In the RGB model used to create colors on computer screens and televisions, maroon is created by turning down the brightness of pure red to about one half.
Maroon is derived from French marron ("chestnut"), itself from the Italian marrone, from the medieval Greek maraon.
The first recorded use of maroon as a color name in English was in 1789.
Displayed on the right is the bright tone of maroon that was designated as maroon in Crayola crayons beginning in 1949.
It is a bright medium shade of maroon halfway between brown and rose.
The color halfway between brown and rose is crimson, so this color is also a tone of crimson.
