The navy blue is a true navy and I love the "ruffled" look of the fringes that are on both sides.  It fits perfectly over another 16-in. pillow I already had.  Well-made and the "invisible" zipper really doesn't show!  This came as a set of two covers---so, I guess I'll have a "spare" when this one wears out (or if I decide to get another pillow to cover)!
