This pad is navy blue
I've seen quite a bit of variation in the lid color with this Chipped Sapphire stamp pad. But it is really just navy blue. Not dark navy. Not light navy like denim. At the same time it is not a dark primary blue because there is a tiny tiny bit of red which give it a super slight shift to purple -- which is a good thing since it goes so well with Dusty Concord. Chipped Sapphire is right in line with Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans, together they make great blended backgrounds. As wonderful as this color is I find that I use black more often for stamped images then this navy blue… black just pops more. It all depends on how you're going to us it and whether it makes a good buy for you.
