Colour map

I'm learning to use Inkscape, as I love drawing, and designing, although not very good. I've just redesinged, a logo, for a local charity. First of, they were happy for me to do, it all, colour and design. Now it's done, they're a bit more specific with the colour. They want either Royal Blue, or Navy Blue. I know roughly, what these look like, but want to get it right. Typing in Royal Blue, in Google, still comes up with multiple variations.  Is there a website, that anyone knows of, where I can get the codes for the colours, so I can type them in, and get the correct colour?

    Ask them to send you a sample of the colour they want.

    Or ask them to give you a Pantone colour.

    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    Thank you both. I don't think they'd be able to give me a colour Belenus, as the original logo was, like pastel green. They've just said Royal, or Navy Blue.
  • Is it going to be professionally printed? If not then subtle colour differences may not matter.

    Navy blue is just a very dark blue....So just go for the darkest you can find and don't get hung up on what they call it.

    It sounds as if they are not too fussy so do it in a nice Royal Blue.
