Dark Navy Blazer vs. Navy

Good evening. During my quest for my first navy blazer, I purchased two, but will keep one. I plan on mostly wearing with chinos/khakis. One of the blazers is darker than the other, and I read reviews stating that it was a "dark navy" which looks black to some. However, next to a black coat, the navy is distinguishable. I tried both on, and the darker one seems to look better on me. I don't know if it is because it fits better or because of the darker color as well. I'm not concerned about the buttons as I will be changing them out with the seasons.

Will the darker one be just as versatile as the lighter navy?

If it doesn't really make a difference, I would just rather go with the cheaper one which is the darker one.

Also, I just realized that when holding the blazers next to good lighting, the store pictures are accurate as to the correct color of the blazers. My pictures darkened the blazers.

The navy hued jacket will prove far more versatile than the midnight blue version. The dual vented CK Blazer would be my preference of the two design options. ;)
The midnight blue is the one that looks to be black, nine times out of ten when one looks at it or...it's the darker of the two jackets. ;)
