2020 Nissan Pathfinder in Midnight Pine Metallic
I’m kind of a sucker for car colors that demonstrate some level of translucence. I also really like dark greens. So you can see how Nissan’s new Midnight Pine Metallic would appeal to me.

2020 Lexus ES 350 in Sunlit Green

For an auto journalist, these shows are also a great way to spot industry trends large and small.
