With the Pixel 10 series expected to be nearly identical to the current generation, color is how Google can physically distinguish the phones. A new leak today reveals the possible colors for the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL.
According to Mystic Leaks (who previously shared the Material 3 Expressive redesign of Google Clock) today, the Pixel 10 will be available in:
- “Obsidian (Black)”
- “Blue (Blue)”
- “Iris (Purple)”
- “Limoncello (Yellow)”
“Obsidian” is always a given and was seen in the “Ask more of your phone” leak. There’s no traditional light color (or Porcelain), with Google possibly having “Limoncello” serve that role. It’s unlikely that Limoncello will be the final name, but Google has previously used that as a moniker/stand-in for Lemongrass.
Meanwhile, “Iris” would follow the Pixel 9a, while Google skipped “Blue” last year. There was of course the limited-edition Really Blue first-get Pixel, while the Pixel 2 had Kinda Blue. Then there’s the Barely Blue Pixel 4a, Bay Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel 8a.
It will be interesting to see what shade of blue Google opts for as to not compete with Iris. If Google goes lighter, that could serve as another alternative to Porcelain.
Meanwhile, the rumored Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL colors are:
- “Obsidian (Black)”
- “Green (Green)”
- “Sterling (Grey)”
- “Porcelain (White)”
“Obsidian” and “Porcelain” aren’t surprising, while “Sterling” sounds like something in the middle. It sounds staid, just like the Hazel Pixel 9 Pro that borders on gray depending on the lighting.
Hopefully, “Green” will be much more vibrant if we’re getting a proper gray in the lineup. A return of the Pixel 8 Pro’s Mint or Pixel 8a’s Aloe would be great.
