The next Google Pixel phone is often in the news due to leaks and speculations. The Pixel 10 lineup is no different, and the latest report reveals a significant overhaul to the colour palette.
Fellow tech publication Android Headlines has been leading the leaks pack, and it has shared the colour variants of the complete Pixel 10 lineup. And from the looks of it, Google's trend of releasing distinct and often playful colours will continue.
Starting with the vanilla Google Pixel 10, it is rumoured to come in Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Midnight and Iris colour variants.
The report emphasises that the Ultra Blue variant has "like a royal blue colour" that will be limited to the base model. Meanwhile, the Limoncello variant will be a "mid-tone' colour. A quick search reveals this to be a yellowish-green hue, based on the Italian lemon liqueur. As for the Iris colourway, the leak suggests it will be a direct carryover of the shade featured on the Pixel 9a.
As for the "Pro" Pixels, they will apparently come in four colours as well. The Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will be available in Light Porcelain, Midnight, Sterling Gray and Smoky Green colour variants. The leak mentions that Sterling Gray will just be a lighter Midnight, and the Light Porcelain will replace the regular Porcelain as a more "off-white" colour.
So, as you can tell, the Obsidian and Porcelain shades are reportedly getting replaced by Midnight and Light Porcelain, respectively. The Midnight and Obsidian colours have been with us since the Pixel 6. So, if this leak turns out to be true, it will be quite the aesthetic refresh for the series.
While the Light Porcelain colour can easily be pictured, the new Midnight colour is said to bring a darker shade of gray to the lineup. For me, this instantly brings to mind the Midnight shade of the newer Apple MacBooks.
Google is also reportedly getting adventurous with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, bringing the Sterling Gray and Smoky Green colours to its foldable. Moreover, we can also expect to see companion wallpapers for the new colourways in the Pixel 10 lineup.
Leaks hint that the Pixel 10 launch date has been set for either August 13 or August 20, 2025. We await an official confirmation from Google. Until then, take all leaks with a healthy pinch of salt.
