    I've noticed that most of the Midnight Blue pictures around the internet do not really look like the real color. So, I tried to find a way to capture the true color, and the only way I could do it was with my LG chocolate camera phone. I just felt I needed to show you all what it really looks like. Enjoy.

    That is about the closest I have seen to being the real color.​

    Yeah, it is VERY dark. My dad thought I had switched to the black. But it's blue. It fits the name: Midnight.

    i would agree with the colour. it does look very similar to that in person.

    I thought it was black before i took the paper type packaging off of my laptop when it was delivered.

    It looks a lot like black.

    If you want a comparison between the blue and something black, take a close look at the cable coming out the side. Only then can you realize that the lid is indeed blue.

    The Midnight Blue and Espresso Brown both look black unless you shine light on them.

    Yeah, that's a pretty accurate pic. When I first got mine I noticed it seemed considerably darker than most of the pics I'd seen. I really like the color though.

    wow if it's that dark and the screen is grainy as well I may just return it whenever I actually get mine. It's not that dark in the commercials.

    Any type of camera that has any sort of flash is going to give it a much-brightened color. That's why I had to use my camera phone.
