Not Quite Navy is a deep, rich navy blue with a deep, formal feel. It suggests navy uniforms, night skies and nautical themes, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as navy, midnight blue, indigo or ink blue, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.
