Midnight blue or Nightshadow blue...I need opinions.

So I'm painting my car real soon and I still can't decide if I want to keep it the stock nightshadow blue or if I want to change it to midnight blue. I love both colors and I just can't decide.

This is the midnight blue...


If I do paint it midnight blue however, my door jams will stay nightshadow blue because I don't have 3000+ to drop on a paint job, so that is one draw back.

This is Nightshadow blue...

Also, since mine is a 92 in the back end I had the light bar thing that goes all the way across the back end like this


But I changed it to the piece from and like 95, however the curve of the lights don't match exactly with that piece...like this..so I don't know if I should keep it or not.

Just any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

if you want an OEM look, go with the nightshadow, otherwise ... i want to get my car painted a dark royal blue [what you call midnight - its actually not midnight in terms of paints or cloth]

so im biased towards "midnight" blue ... i actually wish my car was identical to that one

thats not so much midnight blue as it is Spectra Blue Mica Paint with Silver Accents

but if your going to go with a lighter blue, then save up a bit more and paint your door jams

thats my camry! hehe heres how beautiful nightshadow blue can reflect. It is the rare and most beautiful camry color in my opinion!





also, if you painted this color with additional flake, it would look hot :




This color just SHINES in the sun, I love it.





This color is probably one of my favorites. It not only gives reflections with a nice wax, but the flake in the sun is just astounding. I do not think at all you would make a bad decision with going nightshadow.

not to bring you down, but my camry does the same thing in the sun ... any of the OEM colors should do that pretty well with good maintenance and a nice buff/wax!

except eyeball96's color ... he wishes his red was like mine

Nightshadow blue.

Later down the line, you won't have a problem trying to resell the car.

another point for the nightshadow and a benefit of having a nice intact OEM color.
