No, the midnight blue looks different from the deep sea blue. The photos posted by PaulJ above are actually close to what I saw in person. The ones with gas door open show the midnight blue color under strong sun lighting -- a kind of the mix of blue and green. The one in parking lot shows the color without strong direct sun lightning -- a kind of mix of dark blue and black.
fantastic, that's about the most useful thing I've read about how mid blue and deep sea blue differ - thanks!

A followup - do you think the midnight blue, as dark as it is, would be as susceptible to showing dirt & scratches as black typically is, or less so?
