Perhaps no other team in the AFL has more invested in a colour than the Carlton Football Club. Others have animals, mythical creatures or simply a verb to define them, as well as their specific club colours. Carlton alone has proudly worn and been defined by a rich, dark and powerful colour which is Oxford Blue. Given all that, it may be surprising to know that a great deal of mystery surrounds exactly how it all came about. Until now.

To find out how we became blue.... http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=194

How did we get the Navy Blue colour we are wearing now? because it isnt Oxford Blue a lighter shade of blue than Navy?

I was thinking the same thing... amazing the things we occupy ourselves with when the team's not winning! However, I often find if you post meaningful content then people go looking for threads like this...
