There are many different hues of black, anyone that's selected colors knows this.

There are warm blacks that have a little red in them, and cool blacks that have some blue in them.

A cool black will look a little blue when next to a true black.

You can call it a dark blue or a cool black, the true color does not matter as much as the lighting conditions it will be viewed under. When picking out colors like I have for +100 retail spaces I can tell you this is a consideration.

If I pick out a black and it looks like a dark sepia brown near warm florescent lighting no client wants to hear that it looked black at my office.

Nope, that cool black was selected to look like Navy under those outdoor conditions, it was purposeful I suspect. If not, then it's a heck of a coincidence.

RECAP: It does not matter what color you call it, it matters what it looks like.

People that pick out colors because they like the name over what it looks like are misguided in my opinion. Paint companies do spend a lot of money naming their colors for a reason, and for good reason.

I would rather choose a color called "buttermilk" than a color called "milk gone bad", I'm only human.
