i dig chameleon colors. imho, it gives the car character and just looks stunning.

I had a 1991 911 turbo in midnight blue and a 2006 M5 in Interlagos blue and the colors are nothing alike. Midnight blue is much closer to Monaco blue if you are trying to compare colors from BMW.

Midnight blue metallic is one of the most beautiful colors for a Porsche IMO, 15 years later it is the only car I regret selling.

I would think midnight blue would be pretty dark based upon the name. Would love it if it's a Navy type of color. Any owners regret their purchase of MB?

I had a 2001 Midnight Blue 911 C4 Cab with Natural Brown full leather....it was gorgeous!!! It's my second favorite Blue

I think midnight is one of the classiest colors around. That being said, when I order my next gen turbo it will probably be Iris Blue (993) over Natural Brown. I was thinking about the Aston Martin Morning Frost White, but I just gravitate towards blue.

I'm not familiar with Iris blue, but if it is anything like Ocean blue, it would be fantastic.

I think when the car is clean an waxed the deep blue comes out better.I have been using ziano and it looks great
