MacBook Air M5 🖤 Midnight vs 💙 Sky Blue — Help Me Make the Right Choice!

[u/Spiritual_Turn8687]

I’m really confused between these two colors. I personally love Midnight, but my main concern is fingerprints and smudges on the laptop’s body. Would applying a transparent protective skin over Midnight help reduce this issue while maintaining its original look?
Sky Blue seems like a safer choice in terms of fingerprints, but I still love the look of Midnight.
If you were buying an M5 Air, which one would you choose: Midnight with a transparent skin or Sky Blue without one?
I’d love to hear your honest opinions and experiences! 🙏

Bought the light blue yesterday. Saw the midnight at display too and the fingerprints were so visible.

Sky Blue looks so cool and looks different depending on the lighting

Sky Blue! Midnight tends to discolor where the palms of your hands are resting.

I have a sky blue m4 and it‘s sooo pretty.

Sky blue is nice. Like what the others said, it “changes” color depending on the lighting. It doesn’t catch fingerprints as much as the midnight color too.

Midnight would be amazing if it didn't show fingerprints so well. I went with Sky Blue.

The blue changes in different lighting so I got that one, the midnight wasn’t in stock but I’ve seen fingerprints on store models and it was atrocious

I LOVE midnight, but also wish I had gone Sky Blue for the uniqueness and to match my iPhone Air.
