Navy Blue Bar Stools
Navy blue is a very dark shade of the color blue. It got its name from the dark blue worn by officers in the Royal Navy since 1748.
This color is often considered a traditional or conservative shade and is great for those who want to create a classic, timeless room.
Designers like Beth Haley remark, “Navy has always been a solid, strong, and steady color that grounds a space and exudes confidence. Like the deep blue ocean, classic and reliable navy can radiate a calmness when used on its own or energize a space when paired with one of the many colors it complements.”2
