Midnight blue has been classic for nearly a century. It actually is said to look "blacker than black" in artificial lighting. (where black can sometimes take on a greenish hue) Check out the blacktieguide for more info:

The only reason to wear midnight instead of black is that you like it better (which I do).

+1. Midnight blue is the classic. Just make sure it's really midnight blue. Lots of the more fashion forward ones you see lately are too light.
I think that is an amazing look I would like to have the opportunity to pull off.I find midnight blue dinner jackets work best when the event begins before the sun has set.
For that same reason, I like midnight blue trousers with an ivory dinner jacket and black tie, since certain latitudes are quite bright for evening events when ivory or cream dinner jackets are acceptable.
Horses for courses.
