Maroon is a color mixture composed of brown and purple. Although conceptually a color mixture, it can be regarded as a dark (and possibly also desaturated) shade of red. Derived from French marron ("chestnut"), it didn't become a color-word in English until ca. 1791.
Uses
Maroon is the principal school color of Boston College, Texas A&M University, and The University of Chicago. The daily newspaper at Chicago is called The Maroon as are its athletic teams, while Boston College teams, officially the Eagles, are affectionately known as the Maroon & Gold.
Maroon is also the official colour of the state of Queensland, Australia. It is also used by the state's sporting teams.
