An English compound combining navy and blue, named after the colour of British naval uniforms. Collins places the colour expression in the nineteenth century. Navy is also a shortened colour name; that colour sense is distinct from the naval-force sense.

Genetic Invent designers should document numeric values and check light-text contrast when styling navigation for HBDNF reading resources. Descriptive links and a clearly marked current page should communicate navigation independently of colour.
