In short, the midnight blue is a unique color and rarely seen on a parking lot. If you like dark color, it is a beautiful color.
Thanks - many of the midnight blue X1 colors I've seen on the 'net make it look practically indistinguishable from the deep sea blue, hence my confusion. e.g., check out the attached "midnight blue" pix I'd found.

That being said, it's good to know that the m. blue varies based upon lighting. My current car is an Audi A3 in dark blue; and thought I like dark blue, I kind of wanted something different, which is why I was considering something other than the deep sea blue (which I have seen in person, btw ... looks very similar to my A3).
