- Use for: Ideal for dramatic title sequences, storytelling vlogs, and film-style thumbnails that need strong emotional punch.
Crimson Ember Cinema feels like the glow of embers in a dark theater.

The near-black shade (#1b1414) anchors everything with a serious, cinematic edge.
Use this palette in Filmora when building trailer-style intros, narrative vlogs, or video essays. Keep your main backgrounds in the darker reds and browns, then pick the ember orange (#d97a4a) for call-to-action buttons, YouTube thumbnails, and logo accents. The light beige (#f0e0d6) works as a clean base for text panels, end screens, or chapter cards.
Pro Tip: Build a Cinematic Brown Maroon Look in Filmora
To keep a bold brown maroon look consistent, design your whole edit around two hero colors: one deep maroon for the shadows and one ember orange for highlights and accents. In Filmora, set these as your go-to shades for titles, elements, and transition overlays so every frame feels like part of the same film world.
For storytelling vlogs, combine this palette with slow zooms, soft fades, and subtle film grain. Color your opening title, subscribe buttons, and chapter cards with the same HEX codes you use for your LUT or color grading, so viewers instantly recognize your style across shorts, long-form videos, and social teasers.
AI Color Palette
If you have a screenshot, mood board, or still frame that nails this crimson-and-ember vibe, you can spread that exact look across your entire edit. Filmora's AI Color Palette feature analyzes your reference image and applies matching tones to other clips, keeping skin tones warm and shadows richly maroon.
Import one graded shot using this palette, then let AI Color Palette match the rest of your footage. This is perfect when you shoot on different days or cameras but still want the same brown maroon atmosphere in intros, B-roll, and end screens.

Tips for Creating Brown Maroon Color Palettes
Brown maroon works across many niches, from cinematic vlogs to brand promos. A few simple rules will help you combine it with other colors and apply it cleanly in your Filmora projects.
- Pair brown maroon with light neutrals (cream, beige, soft white) to keep thumbnails and titles readable, especially on mobile screens.
- Use the darkest maroon or brown as your anchor shade for borders, letterbox bars, shadows, and background panels behind text.
- Choose one accent color only (ember orange, copper, or peach) to avoid muddy visuals and keep your brand identity clear.
- Check skin tones after grading; if faces look too red, reduce red saturation slightly in HSL and lift the warmth in highlights instead.
- Maintain consistency by reusing the same 2–3 HEX codes for titles, icons, and overlays across your entire channel or series.
- For cinematic looks, keep saturation moderate and focus on contrast and shadow depth rather than super-bright colors.
- Test your palette on both dark and light backgrounds inside Filmora to make sure text, logos, and lower thirds stay legible.
- Create and save custom presets in Filmora so you can reuse your favorite brown maroon grading and title styles with one click.
Brown maroon color palettes can completely reshape how your content feels. From moody city films and romantic wedding edits to modern workspace tours and cafe branding, these shades give your visuals warmth, depth, and a recognizable identity.
Try a few of the palettes above in Filmora, using the HEX codes for titles and overlays while tuning your footage with color tools, AI Color Palette, and LUTs. Once you lock in a look that fits your story, apply it consistently so viewers instantly recognize your channel or brand.
Whether you are editing vlogs, promos, or passion projects, brown maroon is a versatile base for cinematic, cozy, and professional visuals. Experiment, save your favorite presets, and let your color choices tell the story before a single word appears on screen.
