Midnight Black Metallic Owners!

Picked up a 2021 TRD OR in Midnight Black Metallic last year thinking that it was going to be a black truck... Well, it is for the most part but under any sort of light the truck looks blue... Anyone else notice this? My first Tacoma was a 2017 TRD Sport in "Black" which was actually black and much shinier than this one. Is Toyota using less shiny paint in order to try and hide scratches? Or do I just need to buff the paint? Let me know what you guys think or have seen.

 

I had the MBM on my 2018 before I traded it in for my 2020. It was definitely metallic black and looked it. When clean and in sunlight it was gorgeous but keeping it looking that way, drove me crazy....thus the Quicksand. Not sure it ever got accused of being dark blue. IMHO

The metallic part does reflect blue. But with mine unless you look closely in sunlight it looks black. I do see the blue in it and others have mentioned it, too.

 

Thanks for the responses. Im out of town until Monday but will post a picture of my truck when I get back because mine is significantly blue.

 

There's blue metal flake in the paint. I really like it and it was the first thing that caught my eye when I first saw my truck. Maybe yours has more metal flake then normal?
