The name “royal blue” was first used in 1810-1820. The “royal” in royal blue comes from England, where the hue was said to have been created for a competition to make a dress for Queen Charlotte (1744—1818).

The shade of blue associated with the name has actually changed over time. Before the 1950s, royal blue was considered to be much darker.

In the late 1980s, the World Wide Web Consortium – which is the international group for web standards – matched this brighter blue, along with its RGB code, to the name “royal blue”.
