Is Midnight Black or Blue?

[bballers29]

I am hearing some people say it is jet black while others say it is a dark navy blue. I prefer a jet black look and would buy space gray if there was a hint of blue in midnight. Does anyone know? Thanks!

Definately more blue than black.

I don't see any blue, except the wallpaper. A very matte black.

Perhaps sorta dark gunmetal gray.

I'ts a very dark blueish gray. It's not black.

Definitely blue. The difference between Midnight and Black is immediately apparent comparing these two iPhone cases (this is under fluorescent lighting):

And here's the Midnight case in outdoor lighting, which makes the blue even more obvious:

Here is the same image desaturated. Now you should see blue in your image - a slightly aqua blue.

I still don't see it. People see things differently. I definitely see a lot of blue in the wallpaper, so I'm not color blind.

Interesting. Do you see a difference between the left and right half here?

It definitely looks blue to me. The midnight iPhone 13 is blue as well.

You will need to see it in person. We have a grey bedroom set, with a green comforter. I SWEAR the headboard is green, and my wife and everyone else sees grey. My point is you won't know until you see it in person, and even then you say black, and someone else says blue.

If it were the blue on the left then yes. And if the blue iMac was that color on the front, then I'd get one of those.

I'd love to see a picture of this 😂

Apple’s marketing shows what something could look like, not what it looks like. Sort of a quantum state of the product in question.

Yes. Left looks blue. I guess it's a psychological thing.

Damn the desaturated tone looks fine too. Like a very dark space grey.
But the midnight is great too

It's blue and black under certain lighting conditions.

 

[Yr Blues]

Honestly, I wish it was matte black. I'm 50% less likely to buy it now.

This is like that bloody dress again

If it follows the Midnight colours for the iPhone, it’s a dark inky blue and you can only see the blue-ness under decent to bright lighting.

Which begs the question. Why? Everyone wants matte black.

Looks very blue in all the hands on videos.

Pfft. Matte black says "sales droid" or "suit". Yuck.
