Shadmaan Kader, owner of fabric firm Poundametre, has spilled the beans on the stately shade.
He explained: "The origins of the iconic Royal Blue colour can be traced back to the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in which King George III was testing clothiers up and down the country in the hopes of finding a shade of blue to be used by Royalty.
"A factory called Scutts Bridge in Rode created the iconic shade and was later known as ‘The Royal Blue’. Blue can be mixed with many colour combinations, but is most notably paired with red and white to signify the flag of Great Britain."
As well as explaining what the shade means, Shadmaan also recommended how to celebrate King Charles' big Coronation with pops of Royal Blue.
"You may be having a tea party, street party, or just a quiet day celebrating the momentous occasion," he said.
"If you’re wanting to decorate your home, consider creating a balloon archway with red, white and royal blue balloons to give your home a sense of royalty."
Shadmaan also suggested swapping your tablecloth for a Union Jack flag and hang up bunting, which he claims will "instantly makes an area feel dressed up and carefully styled".
The comments come after Brits were warned that if they decorate their cars for King Charles' Coronation weekend, they could face a £100 fine.
