Maroon (US & UK /məˈruːn/ mə-ROON,Australia /məˈroʊn/ mə-RONE) is a dark brownish red 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.
Displayed on the right is the color rich maroon, i.e. maroon as defined in the X11 color names, which is much brighter and more toned toward rose than the HTML/CSS maroon shown above.

This is the next bloody axe in your face
This is the fight for the voiceless minority
NO LAST WARNING - NO WARNING SHOT
SMELL THE SCENT OF YOUR OWN BLOOD
[solo]
YES, IT'S YOUR FLESH IN YOUR MOUTH
YES, IT'S YOUR FLESH IN YOUR MOUTH
Welcome to your own slaughterhouse
It's time for work, you under your bloody axe
It's time for my revenge, can you feel the pain?
NO LAST WARNING - NO WARNING SHOT
SMELL THE SCENT OF YOUR OWN BLOOD
NOW I USE YOUR TECHNOLOGY
TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY DIE A BILLION TIMES EVERYDAY
Let’s “burn it down”
And “destroy the machines”
Hear the thousand screams
Hear the thousand screams
“HANDS OFF THE ANIMALS
And a “firestorm” will come
[solo]
This is the next bloody axe in your face
This is the fight for the voiceless minority
It’s time for my revenge, can you feel the pain?
NO LAST WARNING - NO WARNING SHOT
SMELL THE SCENT OF YOUR OWN BLOOD
YES, IT'S YOUR FLESH IN YOUR MOUTH
