What is Navy Blue?

Navy blue is a deep, rich blue that takes its name from the dark blue uniforms worn by officers in the British Royal Navy since the late 18th century. The color quickly became associated with authority, trustworthiness, and professionalism. Before the 19th century, navy blue was known as "marine blue" or simply "dark blue," but its military association cemented its modern identity.

In digital terms, navy blue is defined by the hex code #000080 or rgb(0, 0, 128). This deep blue sits at the edge of darkness, with maximum blue channel and zero red or green. Its CMYK values emphasize cyan and magenta with substantial black ink, producing a rich, authoritative color in print. Navy blue is often confused with royal blue, but navy is significantly darker and more muted.
