Maroon (US/UK / m ə ˈ r uː n / mə-ROON, [2] Australia / m ə ˈ r oʊ n / mə-ROHN [3]) is a brownish crimson color that takes its name from the French word marron, meaning chestnut. [4] Marron is also one of the French translations for "brown".
Magenta is variously defined as a purplish-red, reddish-purple, or a mauvish–crimson color. On color wheels of the RGB and CMY color models, it is located midway between red and blue, opposite green. Complements of magenta are evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 500–530 nm.

In the RGB color spectrum, it often consists only of the color red, with no green or blue component; in the CMYK color model blood red has no cyan, and consists only of magenta and yellow with a small amount of black.
