Thank you everyone!! Testing out your suggestions helped me realize what was wrong. What happened is the fuzzy select tool wasn't exact enough on the pixels, meaning it selected the really white part and leaving a border of the in-between colored pixels outside it. Then the stroke tried to blend with the outside, which was whiter than the true background, making the stroke too light colored. So I darkened the blue and in that way got the effect I wanted.
Thank you for these tips!!! The outside selection thing I couldn't get to work though, it would still color inside the selection. Perhaps it's not possible to get it not to I suppose? Because of its blending inclination?

Even with antialiasing 'on' an even number of pixels does not have antialiasing https://i.imgur.com/hmsJota.jpg
Use an odd number of to stroke the selection. https://i.imgur.com/ksVIaac.jpg
Want outside the selction? Add a layer under, stroke with 2 x the required width. https://i.imgur.com/31efl9M.jpg
