About maroon
Maroon is the CSS-canonical dark red, leaning faintly brown where burgundy leans faintly purple. The brown undertone makes it feel earthier and slightly more masculine — closer to dried-blood territory than wine. LRV sits low, so rooms feel enclosed and warm.
Use it on library walls, exterior front doors, and lacquered cabinetry. It pairs naturally with cream, mustard, and forest green — the classic Arts-and-Crafts palette. Skip cool blue trim. Designer alternatives: BM Cottage Red, SW Carriage Red, F&B Eating Room Red.
