• Navy blue is #000080
  • rose gold be #B76E79

How could that best be translated most closely into that?

My only seeming understanding of color stuffs is blue is 0000FF (F seems to be the highest value). So what did the Navy do to that already highest value to make it darker(?)than blue?

I wasnt a particularly “mathy” or visual artsy kid 😔

    So youre saying navy blue is “less” blue than pure blue?

    Its tending more towards #000000 (black) than white (#FFFFFF)? Or even 0000FF

      Yup, you got it

      This sometimes feels counterintuitive because in traditional media more blue means more pigment, typically means a darker colour. If I was mixing paint I might be inclined to say that the navy blue is bluer than, say, a sky blue. And if you’ve ever tried to mix all the colours in your palette, you’ve probably wound up with a really muddy brown or even black

      But digital colours are mixed with light, so as you add more colour the result is brighter. Which is why if you add all the light (#FFFFFF) you end up with white and if you use no colour at all (#000000) you end up with black
