Definitely a strong hint of blue in midnight. Impossible not to see IMO.
 
It is blue. Same argument was/is being made with the the colors on the Apple Watch. I got crappy eyes and can’t see stuff far or close anymore, but I can still see colors ;)
 
like in suits and style, this is called navy. Dark blue that shines in the light, and black in the night

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

It's easy to confuse the two. Once my I thought my uncle had a black computer, but when I looked at it closely, it was just very, very, very, very, very, very, 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.
The midnight iPhone is definitely not black. Black would be a neutral tone, this is dark blue.
 
It's very very dark blue, basically slate for the old Iphone 5, which I loved. Beautiful colour.

Having seen it in store today I can confirm the Midnight colour is an absolute fingerprint magnet! All the customers were commenting about this to the staff there! The Midnight Airs in store looked horrible and showed fingerprints up in a way that none of the other colours did. I can imagine it would look nice when clean though as the blue tinge really sets it off!

I guess models in a shop being handled by dozens of customers are probably the worst case scenario but personally I'd still go for Space Grey or Silver :cool:
