Would you buy the Midnight color again?

I have the 14-inch MacBook Pro in silver (personal) and space grey (work purchase) and 15-inch MacBook Air in midnight (personal). It turns out darker color is just not for me especially after looking at the space black at the Apple Store. Really wish Apple changes silver to starlight on the MacBook Pro line up.
 
Trying to sell the colour because I can’t stand how dirty it looks all the time. Also, I find all the other colours look much more premium.
 
Had it for a couple months now and adore it! Fingerprints are an issue on the rear shell, but it's made me more conscious of keeping the laptop wiped clean, so oddly it's had a positive side-effect of the laptop being much cleaner than they usually are!

Gorgeous colour though, I'll be sticking with Air in future if they keep doing it.

Still no regrets, looks awesome. 10/10 would buy again.

I bought Midnight by accident, thought I had ordered Space Grey. I like it, though, and the fingerprints don't bother be at all. After looking at an almost 10 year old rMBP with almost 10 years of accumulated crud in the corners, this looks fine.

I've had a Midnight 13 inch M2 MBA since July and I adore the color. I'm disappointed that it looks like Midnight will not be a color offered for the MBP line because it would be my first choice when I replace my MBP.

Love it but smacked my Apple Watch Ultra into the top case the other day and the small chip will forever drive me crazy, so prob would NOT buy again.
 
Just a random question but I got a nick in the paint on the midnight and was wondering if anyone knows the way to repair it? I’m thinking I’m using a sharpie lol.

FWIW, I have a starlight, but I wouldn't use a sharpie on the midnight. You might conceal the nick with the sharpie, but only if looking at it at a very specific - and pretty narrow - angle; the moment you move it or the light falls differently, the sharpie color will stand out in an almost fluorescent way, it'll be worse than the nick. If you must use something, you should look at some paint that has the same reflectivity as the original - if you can't find any, at least go for something matte, because there will be fewer angles where it jumps out at you, since it won't reflect light. Go to an art supply store and look at paints that go on metal, you should be able to find something.

I like it but I probably wouldn’t get it again. The fingerprint issue is real. For that reason alone I would probably go with space gray instead.

Space Grey has wear issues it seems though. I think my next one will be a Silver based on this.

Voted. 13.6 MBA bought in 2022. Traded in and bough 15 in MBA 2 months ago via apple refurbished. I love the color. Yah there finger prints here and there but its like my car. It gets dirty and 1 month later I'll clean it. Doesn't bother me. I love the big screen for doing my day to day stuff. On the 15 MBA, in other colors I really don't like how the blank space on the side is bare metal. Midnight helps hide that.

Yes, I would. The Midnight color is stunning! Is it a small task to wipe it down? Sure, but that's not really a big deal to me. Is there room for improvement? Yep. And I would tweak the color a little to be slightly more blue.

I’ve had mine for almost 2 weeks and I love the colour. I wouldn’t chose any other colour. I just keep my micro fibre cloth to hand so I can wipe it down when I want to.

Same. I am in a darkened environment more often than not, and I really appreciate the immersive nature of a darker Mac. Really thrilled to see the MacBook Pro have a space black option for my next one. 15 years of silver, it was a nice change. Starlight is also really nice too, but Midnight was the best choice for me. Hope they add a coating like the Pro, but a daily wipe down is no big deal. Keeps my Mac cleaner.
