Crisp and classic with white, fashionable with black, moody with brown, regal with red: navy blue makes a fine addition to any colorscape and harmonizes in different ways depending on how you style or mix it. Rooted in the deep blue waters that inspired its name, it was first used by the British Royal Navy in the mid-18th century for its uniforms. Though it has transcended its martial origins, navy remains synonymous with authority, strength, and discipline but also reeks of timeless elegance. It carries a quiet depth with calm and introspective vibes and is also pretty good at hiding messes. The shade of the sky just before nightfall and until the sun rises, navy envelops the senses with a comfortable sense of security. It speaks of loyalty and trust, like the deep ocean that holds secrets beneath its surface or fraternal whispers in hallowed halls of higher learning. Navy is a constant yet shifting hue, deep, and limitless with a little element of surprise.
