Burgundy (color)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burgundy is a shade of red with a tinge of purple associated with the Burgundy wine of the same name, which in turn is named after the Burgundy region of France. The color Burgundy is similar to other shades of dark red such as maroon. It is often called wine red, or simply wine.
The first recorded use of burgundy as a color name in English was in 1915. [1]
