Navy blue got its name from the dark blue (contrasted with naval white) worn by officers in theRoyal Navy since 1748 and subsequently adopted by othernavies around the world. When this color name, taken from the usual color of theuniforms ofsailors, originally came into use in the early 19th century, it was initially calledmarine blue, but the name soon changed tonavy blue.^[2]

An early use ofnavy blue as a color name in English was in 1840^[3] though theOxford English Dictionary has a citation from 1813.
