i never knew 4th produces the color of "midnight blue"...until today.

i know the color of max has been discussed and dabate for a long time. even myself still can not identify the exact color of my max. if you look at it closely, it's not neptune blue, nor superblack.

recently i had a chance to meet up with "regime", who 0wns a 01 AE maxima with basic bolt-ons from norcal. well, i sold my lugs to him and chat a little bit regarding the color of my maxima. he said it's midnight blue, and it's rare. not a lot of people has it.

i couldn't find a site where i can check up the available colors for 4th gen maxima, specifically in year 95. if anyone has it please post away. thx.

any comments is welcome.


midnight blue or just black?

I have a pretty rare color Max myself, or at least I see the same color like once every other month. It's a silver type color, but it has a blueish/purple tint to it. Anybody know what color it's called?

My max is midnight blue, black, purple and greenish blue depending on what time of day it is and how the sun hits it! Does your car do this happyrice??? I love the way it confuses people Some people swear it black...other swear its purple or blue. Its funny to me. This is one of the reasons I havent gotten a new paint job. Im afraid that I will lose that natural flip-flop that the car does.

Aztec Red Clearcoat AG2
Ruby Pearl Clearcoat AL0
Dark Blue Pearl Clearcoat BM1
Pebble Beige Metallic Clearcoat CG2
Dark Green Pearl Clearcoat DJ2
Forest Green Pearl Clearcoat DP0

*edit - the list the guy before me has is probably more accurate, the one i posted is just what i found on paintscratch so i'm not sure if they name some different or why, just wanted to post in case it could help.
