A serene shade with a hint of opulence, it works well with polished marble, gleaming metals, soft leather and sophisticated patterns. Naval is a very dark blue but it’s very neutral. It will look slightly different depending on the amount of natural light a room gets, even the light bulbs used in lamps. But overall the color will remain a very dark navy blue.
