H & M do school uniform - but not really in navy

The thought of H&M doing school uniform really got me exicted (oh yes, my life is that boring) but all my dreams came to a very abrupt end when I saw the actual clothes in the shop. The items in navy are, well...,  not navy.

They call it "dark blue" on their web site, but it wouldn't wash with my kids' school. Navy (or dark blue) is supposed to be exactly that: Dark. 

Although I liked the cut of the trousers and loved the pleated skirt, I didn't buy them, not even as a standby.
