What is what color is maroon?

Maroon is a dark, brownish-red color. It's a deep, rich shade that sits somewhere between red and brown, often described as a muted or dusky red. It's darker and less vibrant than crimson or scarlet, but richer and more complex than simply a dark red. The exact shade can vary slightly depending on the pigment used, but it always maintains its characteristic dark reddish-brown hue.
