Selous Scouts berets were not maroon they were chocolate brown. Primarily made by Botswana Cap and Helmet Manufacturers in Lobatse, Botswana.
Depending on the lighting the photo was taken in etc then the colour can look slightly different as any photographer knows. There is also the fading to take into consideration.
