I consider the Midnight, Starlight, and Green colors (all available for the aluminum model) to be neutral, as they are very subdued. Only the Blue color in aluminum comes off as vibrant.
Got a tip for us?

wanted to get the gold steel with gold milanese loop but for some reason it's not a configuration, but I can pair the silver or black with a gold milanese loop...
If this is all people have to worry and complain about, then life must be pretty good.
“Some customers are unhappy…”
Couldn’t you follow this with every single product Apple has ever made? Or any other company.
I once ate a perfect in-season peach that I was entirely happy with.

Wait a minute -- are you suggesting Apple is designing the product lines to encourage upgrades to more expensive models?
No way..
Apple never does things so blatantly designed for increasing profits...

Besides the fact that they case colors aren’t what people want, the next biggest issue is that the bands don’t match the new colors. Some combinations are really bad

It’s pretty sad that random tweets are now considered news.
No, there's definitely blue in it. Here's me shining a flashlight onto the back of my Midnight iPhone case:
And for comparison, here's Midnight (left) next to Black (right):
1. I can't compare anything because you made them full resolution and they take up more than my desktop can show.
2. There can be different shades of the same color. They don't have to be identical and still be called the same color.
That's really cool. I would pay extra for a color-changing case.
Edit: that looks gray vs black. Which is what I would expect.
I thought the whole point was to push people to buy the more expensive Stainless Steel.
A flashlight can skew to the blue spectrum, depending on which model.

Ha! I just edited that post to show you the Midnight and Black colors side by side. Even with no flashlight, you can clearly see the blue tint to the Midnight.
I posted a 2nd picture without a flashlight next to a black case and you can clearly see the blue in comparison.
Reasonable if you're Apple's CEO, CFO, or marketing team certainly. For most other people, removing neutral from a base product for the first time is not reasonable.
Honestly, I can't. I see blue in the spotlight but not in the side by side images. All I see is gray.
I see a blue tint to it for sure, at least in pictures. Definitely not the same as space gray, which is what I have.
It's very honorable and brave for Apple to have a color department that is color blind. Very progressive.
