Explanation

Maroon is primarily used as an adjective to describe a dark brownish-red color (e.g., maroon dress, maroon car). Adjectives describe nouns. While 'maroon' can be a verb (to strand someone in a place), its most common everyday use is as an adjective describing color. It's not a person (pronoun) or a word that modifies verbs (adverb).
