A ship with a cargo of red paint crashed into a ship with a cargo of purple paint. The crews of both ships were marooned.

If I recall correctly, Navy Blue is called Navy Blue because It is similar to the colour of the deep sea.

This implies the existence of Red colored Oceans and I find it unsettling.

I love red but hate maroon. Its like a bastardization that masquerades as red but has none of the good qualities of the color. Fuck you maroon.

Colors typically used in the military have similarities? No way! /s

So olive drab is navy green

Khaki tan is navy beige

Gunmetal is navy grey

Navy Blue is called such, not because of its darkness, but because that was the shade of blue used by the British Royal Navy uniforms. The "Navy" refers to its use by that branch of the military.

If the army used a similarly dark red, then you could argue it's "Navy Red" but instead they wore a brighter scarlet.

So I would argue that bright red is the real "Navy Red".
