One CL member said to me that if I wasn't careful, my whole car would end up black...

I had to dig for these...
The color is actually Nighthawk Black, which looks black in the shade
but is actually a midnight blue (to which we added blue pearl flakes)
I don't think it looks "Scionish" at all. Mercedes was doing it before Scion.
At that, the early NSXs had black roofs in '91...

Mine is more obvious in person (on the Spectra Blue); I've never been able
to capture it that well on camera.
On a dark car, I'd even consider contrasting it with a lighter color,
like charcoal or silver. I almost did mine light metallic blue (silver-blue)
to sort of go with the blue window tint.

I'm definitely liking what bob did with the midnight blue on spectra blue and correct me if I'm wrong but I think bluelex did something similar on his car.
Its a big commitment so I'm not one to say just go for it. Think it through and plan it out, but at the end of the day, its your car. Do what pleases you, cuz you'll be the one looking at it the most.

Hey,
I've been bugging you for months now to post.
I call you for the umpteenth time so that you'd break down and shoot pictures of your car that same night to make it happen.
This is what it took to get you to to put something up.
It's all good now. Hope you can post "better" shots in the near future.

It would be really subtle on a darker colored car.

to capture it that well on camera.
