oklch(27.1% 0.188 264)Modern perceptualNavy is the classic CSS named dark blue at #000080. It is denser, more formal, and more structural than Royal Blue or Steel Blue, which makes it useful when you need a trustworthy anchor color for headers, sidebars, enterprise navigation, and deep interface framing.
