Beautiful, Bright Royal Blue Shoes! Only slightly dark, maybe a shad darker than the image.  I ordered to go with a light and royal blue dress.  I wanted a block, steady heel as I am older with neuropathy issues and am more careful with footing positions these days!  THese were beautiful and I had many compliments on my attire for the retirement party, including specifically numerous comments on the shoes!  Thank you Amazon and this seller as I had walked my feet off at multiple malls and retailers looking for anything in this color range with a slight heel, but to no avail.  Amazon to the rescue again!
