There seems to be a mixed reaction to midnight mostly because of the fingerprints. Preferably the MacBook Pro's double anodized black keyboard well expanded to the rest of the enclosure would look better for the MacBook Pro. It would be nice if the anodized black had less of a sheen & was more matte. That would look stealth. But again, fingerprints might be a huge problem. So I'm not sure Apple would do this.

Thoughts?

Apple will use the leftover midnight finish paint for the Apple Car, and instead release a patterned finish for the MBP that resembles fingerprints.

Can’t see it until they make it so that no fingerprints are on it. God forbid a human being has fingerprints that actually lifts a machine up with their hands…..the returns would be crazy but then again people who return a machine over fingerprints aren’t the people I’d associate with

I would love that finish on the MBP--or even any new color options. However, Apple seems to be set on making sure Space Gray and Silver are the only choices for Pro level computers right now.
