    The Psychological Meaning of Maroon

    While it is toward the darker end of the scale of red-blue mixes, sitting closer to brown than purple. It's commonly confused with burgundy but is a little darker and closer in appearance to a pure red. The hint of brown in it gives it an earthy feel as compared to a brighter red.

    Since it's strongly related to red, maroon shares quite a few of the same connections - it's associated with passion, attraction, energy, wealth and sensuality. However, when you want to convey these things with a more sophisticated flair it is the color to turn to. It refines the primal passions of pure red with a touch of added grace and intelligence.

    It also matches well to many of the same colors that complement both red and purple. Browns, darker greys, white, teal, gold, and rosy pinks all work very well with it.
