Maroon is the name given to Dark Red, in the Crayola series since 1958. It is known as Megahertz Maroon in the “Techno Brite” series and Rockets’ Red Glare in the “Colors of Washington, DC” series and Williamsburgundy, for the color to represent Virginia in the “State Color Collection.”

My photo shows the door of the moat drawbridge at the Chateau de la Rochepot, in  Burgundy, France. For more pictures of the chateau look HERE.
