    About Maroon

    Maroon is a dark brownish-red that feels mature and grounded. It's much darker than pure red, with earthy undertones that make it feel warm and stable.

    The word comes from the French 'marron' meaning chestnut. Maroon became popular in Victorian times when darker, more serious colors were fashionable. Many universities chose maroon for their school colors.

    Maroon is excellent for professional settings - law firms, universities, and financial brands use it often. It works well for fall designs, leather goods, and anything that needs to feel established and trustworthy.
