“It’s a bit of red and pink? No, it’s a mix of red, blue, and brown? No, it’s uhhh…”
That’s the description of maroon that I’ve gotten from most of my friends. This trending color has caused many a problem when it comes to its description. Often, women complain that they didn’t get the right maroon hair color done at the salon. Here’s what you need to know to avoid such a fiasco.
What Exactly Is The Color Of Maroon?
Maroon is most often mistaken to be burgundy. Maroon is a shade of red that has a tint of brown. Burgundy, on the other hand, is a shade of red with a tint of violet. Magenta is a mix of pink and red.
What Colors Does Maroon Go With?
Maroon is a cool-toned color. So, opt for colors that are more cool-toned – like silvers, blues, and greens. If you have warm-toned skin, you will need to consider a warmer shade of maroon that has a hint of orange, yellow, or gold.
Here are 30 stunning maroon hair shades to help you understand and get on board with this maroon faze.
30 Stunning Maroon Hair Colors

Black braids are stunning! But if you are bored of black and brown hair, you can jazz them up with some maroon braids! You can either color your hair maroon or go for colored extensions. Either way, it’s sure to dazzle your weave.

Auburn is my favorite shade, hands down! It has a nice warmth to it. It works perfectly when blended with maroon. It will give your hair an edgy reddish-orange tint and make it shine.
