Midnight Blue (#191970) is a very dark, near-navy blue CSS named color, so deep it can read as near-black in dim conditions. As its name suggests, it evokes the deep, rich blue of the sky just before full darkness—deeper than navy, richer than dark blue. It communicates mystery, elegance, and sophistication, widely used in luxury fashion and serious digital brand identities.
