First of all, It would help if you told us what operating system and GIMP versionyou were using...
Secondly, I brought up your image in GIMP (2.10.4), and used the Color Picker tool(from the Toolbox - also 
available from Tools-->Color Picker), with Pick Only andUse Info Window checked in the Tool Options.RGB for 
the darker was: 46/118/163, and the lighter was:71/140/186.I.E. neither one was 0/90/180.I used your figures 
in Change Foreground Color to set theforeground color to your desired blue.  This blue I then used to paint 
with a bit, and found it tobe darker than either one of your, um, "letters".The color picker tool confirms 
this new stroke to be 0/90/180.
I changed the foreground color to white and made a stroke, and then broughtup the Color Exchange dialog 
(Colors-->Map-->Color Exchange).I clicked on the color picker button opposite "To Color", and whenever I 
picked one ofthe three blues (two of yours, one of mine), the stroke changed to that color...(As I don't know 
what "Threshold" does, except that it seems to be a percentage, with1.0  being 100%,  I didn't fiddle with 
the numbers any.)
I think you need to give more detail in what you did (including explaining what you meanby "all the black 
pictures", and "to a blue selection") to get the result you got...
