Burgundy (color)

Burgundy is a dark red color. It takes its name from the color of Burgundy wine (from the Burgundy region of France, named after the ancient Germanic Burgundians). The French call this shade of red after a different wine region, Bordeaux; though in Quebec French, it is Bourgogne (IPA: [buʁɡɔɲ] (listen)). When referring to the color, "burgundy" is usually not capitalized.[4]

The color burgundy is similar to other shades of dark red such as maroon, cordovan, and oxblood, but differs from each of these in subtle ways. For example, cordovan, with its origin in equine shoe-leather, has a slightly fairer, lighter brown color; whilst oxblood, typically describing leather clothing, has a much darker red and no blue.

The first recorded use of "burgundy" as a color name in English was in 1881.[5]
