Add a little black to your blue. Just a tiny bit at a time to get the correct shading.

I JUST tried to figure this color out as well. . .you need VIOLET too. . .that is what did the trick. To get the color, I used blue, black and some violet.

Good luck!

It's uber hard to get navy and let's hope you color all you need the first time, because trying to match a second time is near impossible. I learned very early on to purchase Americolor Navy Blue. It solved any issues with "add a little more of this, and a little more of that..." Best of luck!
