I would say they are pretty true to the first photo I posted, with maybe a touch more blue. They definitely don’t look black. Maybe somewhere between the first and last photo, actually. Looks great with both butcher block and light colored quartz counter tops. Good luck with your choice!

Thank you!! I've come, in my mind, to embrace the fact that it will be darker than maybe I'd envisioned. The more I thought about it... I realized I would rather be a little too dark/grey toned than a little too blue/ bright. I don't want it to look comical. I figure if the color is as popular as it seems to be, it must look relatively nice in most homes. (And again- I'm sure the navy trend is peaking, or whatever, but my house always has notes of blue everywhere so I don't care about trends!)

How long have you had them? Is it true what people posted about dirt and grim showing more with Hale Navy.

They are brand new, so I can’t comment on dirt (yet).

Thanks everyone! (I’m not OP I’m just the one who revived this post). I’ve always loved all shades of blue and my house decor always reflects that so I’m not worried about navy blue looking dated, I’ll still like it. Just mainly worried hale navy will be too black and not blue enough. But , fingers crossed that with our kitchens natural light it will be a good choice.
