granate


Explanation:
I have to agree with cecicastro in that "marrón" to me is brown (although, quite honestly, I have seen it used to translate maroon on some websites). Collins gives "granate" for the translation of maroon, and here are some references to support it.

Blanco
White

Negro
Black

Rojo
Red

Granate
Maroon
