About midnight blue
Midnight blue is the CSS-canonical near-black blue — deeper than navy, with a faint violet cast that reads more sophisticated than pure black. It's the color of a tuxedo lapel and the moodiest member of the blue family.
Spec midnight on dining-room walls, library built-ins, lacquered powder rooms, and exterior siding on modern farmhouses. Pair with brass, unlacquered nickel, warm oak, and ivory trim — never stark white. With LRV under 5 it demands layered lighting: sconces, lamps, and warm overheads. Try BM Hale Navy or Farrow & Ball Railings.
