How does the Midnight MBA look at home?

[richard13]

Recently I went to the Apple Store to look at the M2 MBAs. To me, Midnight looked spectacular. Mostly a satiny/matte dark blue that only looked black from certain angles. But I can't help but wonder what it would look at home under "normal" lighting conditions. I'm thinking if it's going to look more black at home I might just go for Silver.

For those of you that have Midnight, do you see it mostly as blue or black in your use?

More black at home. I'm returning it. Already ordered another one. Decided to go space gray after viewing all at apple store.

I would say mostly black!

Its definitely more black than blue at home under normal lighting conditions.

i wired up my home with apple store lighting, so my midnight air looks exactly the same as it does in the store (plus i had 100 friends over to 'fingerprint' it). i enjoy an authentic experience 😎

Mostly black except in very bright sunlight.

One M2Air at the reseller today and it was allegedly Midnight. Tbh I only saw matte black in it. Lighting, colour perception, dodgy eyes or a combination thereof.

I have one and a Starlight with higher specs coming in. I won't miss midnight. It's a monolith. I miss the contrast of other colors. I don't like the smudges, and it does look like a windows machine.

All about lighting, it is a chameleon, bright lighting will show it is very blue, and normal lighting, much darker.

Thanks folks. Really appreciate you sharing your experiences with this very interesting color MBA! I will take it all into consideration.

Richard, thought your question about how it looks at home a brilliant one! It produced a bunch of helpful answers, too!
