if no royal, I'm not sure what you'd use.

I mix royal blue, violet, and black to get navy.

I think Americolor (you can shop them from this site) has navy, but not sure how quick you need it.

If you have any blue, you could try it with black/violet, but not sure how it'd turn out. Just add little bits at a time...

sorry, not much help.

Americolor does have a navy, I have used it in the past. But if I remember correctly, I had to adjust the color some as it had a real green undertone. I am pretty sure I added royal to it.

Not sure if this will help if you need it now.

If you do try the black and violet, and it is too purple, you try adding some yellow to help tone it down. Just a thought if you are desperate, not sure if it will actually work.
