Maroon color palettes

Maroon pairs with gold, cream, olive, and dusty pink, the palette of libraries and old leather.

Maroon carries its own psychology in branding and design, and the palettes on this page show its range from light to dark. Use the lighter schemes for backgrounds and airy layouts, and the deeper ones for identity work that needs weight.

A strong example from this page is Oxblood: #d8787d, #c43b51, #912c27, #5e241d, #341913. It works immediately for layouts, and you can open it in the generator to get RGB, HSL, CMYK, and Pantone values.
