80's Midnight Blue was one of our GM spray outs. It pitches black on the vertical panels for sure, especially in low light. The challenge was dialing in the face on horizontal panels. Some of the testers had pearls and other modifiers that made the flop hard to manage. Our spray outs appeared only marginally different on vertical panels, but varied a lot in the sun on the horizontal or corners. I wanted to avoid green, turquoise or purple highlights. This color had the advantage of only having three elements: blue, black and aluminum flake...less variables to deal with.
