midnight blue
Dark evening shade
Midnight blue is a very dark shade of blue, nearly black but with enough blue to distinguish it from pure black.
The name evokes the color of a clear night sky.
Common in formal attire—tuxedos, evening gowns—where it offers a softer alternative to black: a midnight blue suit, midnight blue velvet curtains.
