I've no idea. It's not like Apple don't know what matte black looks like nor they don't know how to make one. They did make a matte black iPhone in 2016.Which begs the question. Why? Everyone wants matte black.
It looks more like Starlight and Silver to me than blue and blackYes. Left looks blue. I guess it's a psychological thing.
It's blue and black under certain lighting conditions.
If I were to be looking for a Mac, I'd pick that color. It brings me vibes of the black MacBook.That is what I have been hearing. Looks fantastic, whatever you want to call it.
Of course it's a gorgeous color. The more you look at it, the more it winks back.It's starting to grow on me. I wanted black, but now I can't unsee blue. However it's an overcast blue that reminds me of stormy weather, which I like.

But the finger prints though. It could be an issue.Of course it's a gorgeous color. The more you look at it, the more it winks back.
Even space gray Macs are finger print magnets. That said, those were demo units. Can you imagine how many other hands have touched that Mac?
I can see the left is more blue here. But as soon as I cover the right side with my hand, the left side just looks grey again.

The reason why I never picked one up was due to the GMA 950 or GMA X3100 from Intel.I always wanted one of those.
Only if you don’t see the subtle design cues. The color is a very nice navy blue type of color that is much more interesting than any plain black PC laptop.It looks like every PC laptop in the last 20 years. But yea sure. It's amazing...
The midnight iPhone is definitely not black. Black would be a neutral tone, this is dark blue.I can see the left is more blue here. But as soon as I cover the right side with my hand, the left side just looks grey again.
My midnight iPhone has a blue tinge to it, but I would call it black.
I guess we're all different. I don't see black except the keyboard and bezels. The MacBook is blue(ish).I don't see any blue, except the wallpaper. A very matte black.
