I have a logo to make up in rhinestones.
The school colors are maroon and gold...
topaz is a good gold color but which red is closest to maroon?

I use Siam or Garnet for maroon and either Citrine, Light Colorado Topaz or Topaz for gold.

I found one of my suppliers has the LAT shirt in maroon....very nice...and I use the Topaz rhinestones for the gold. Works great for that color scheme!

I use dark siam for maroon and it has worked well.

Has anyone came across maroon, garnet or burgundy stones in bulk? I need 500 gross or 1000 gross at a time. I tried drk saim and it doesn't look like the school colors (maroon)

Garnet is probably going to be the closest you get to maroon. If you are looking to match Texas A&M maroon I don't think you will find anything closer than garnet or siam. Most of the wholesale suppliers have those colors.

Thanks

I use burgundy crystals for maroon. I use citrine crystals for athletic gold.

Supposedly Matt over at the rhinestone world has a rhinestone close to the maroon color but I think it's a Chinese stone and not Korean. I'm pretty sure that you will have to purchase a higher end rhinestone if you want to get closer to a true maroon color. The higher end stones usually offer a wider selection of colors than the Korean and Chinese rhinestones.

I actually have some MC burgundy that I decided not to sell because it's more of a brownish red. I still use Garnet, which I think is true maroon.

Maroon/burgundy is a funny color...it can go brownish or grape-ish with just a small magenta shift.
It is very hard to get a good middlin' maroon.

I apologize, I just realized that I am not commenting on the same stones. I use the burgundy in a Swarovski crystal. Sorry about that.
