Yes, This Will Be On The NFHS Exam ...

After you memorize this: List of colors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You get this: http://ac4.yt-thm-a01.yimg.com/image/1fab751b544177b0

Here's a "cheat sheet": Navy blue is a dark shade of the color blue. Navy blue got its name from the dark blue (contrasted with white) worn by officers in the Royal Navy since 1748 and subsequently adopted by other navies around the world. Royal blue describes both a bright shade and a dark range of blue. It is said to have been invented by millers in Rode, Somerset, a consortium of which won a competition to make a dress for Queen Charlotte. Traditionally, dictionaries define royal blue as a deep to dark blue, often with a purple or faint reddish tinge.

Here in the Constitution State, we're proud of our National Flag Blue and White University of Connecticut Huskies. I just wish that we hadn't spent so much of our tax dollars deciding on this particular shade of blue: http://www.uconn.edu/history/yestery...blue_white.php
