If you are going on the basis of pigment - cyan is supposed to be the "purest form" of blue. That is why print shops and ink printers use that shade of blue for printing - it mixes with yellow and the truest form of red (I can't remember the name of it - but it is not crimson) to create the other colors of the color spectrum (ROY G BIV - Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet).

There's actually a Navy manual, several dozen pages thick, that defines the specific physical and chemical properties for something to officially be navy blue.
But generally, the term includes any color with a visible wavelength range of about 420–490 nanometers.
Y'know, sometimes I think I should just write a little program that takes the question, feeds it into Wikipedia, and links the page all automatically.
