Which colors do you guys use to make the blue overalls on Minions? Navy seems too dark, royal to light, and I've tried mixing the two. Can't seem to get it right and can't find anything on the internet. Everything just says "blue"

Are you over thinking this, kristykgs?  I've only made one minion and I don't even remember which "blue" I used for his overalls, but I've made blue jeans for my models several times and, as best I remember, I use Royal Blue and mix it to a medium color.  After the garment has been applied, I dust it with white petal dust to simulate fading.  Remember, jeans come in a million different blues, so it is not critical.

I would use sky blue with a touch of black (americolour gels).

Also as Sandra said, don't stress too much, most people are not going to pick the shade of blue apart.
