With the Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4 and possibly the Pixel Buds 2a just weeks away from launch, new information has surfaced about an update to Google’s premium earbuds lineup. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 aren’t expected to get a major refresh this year. However, recent leaks have hinted at a new colour option. Now, Google has seemingly confirmed at least one of those colourways by accident.
A recent 9to5Google report revealed that its team has discovered that Google prematurely listed the Moonstone variant of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 on the Google Store. The 3D view of the earbuds showcases this new greyish-blue colour, matching the previously leaked visuals and likely timed to launch alongside the Pixel 10 lineup later this month.

Previous ongoing leaks around the Pixel 10 lineup have already revealed two new colour options for the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL, Moonstone (a shade of blue) and Jade (green). Soon after, the Pixel Watch 4 was also leaked in the same Moonstone colour, suggesting a unified colour strategy across the ecosystem.
The listing also indicates a shake-up in the colour options for Pixel Buds Pro 2. The new Moonstone colour appears to be replacing the existing “Wintergreen” shade, which is no longer listed. In addition, a new colour name, “Obsidian,” has surfaced, possibly replacing “Hazel.”

Interestingly, the visual for “Obsidian” still resembles Hazel, suggesting this may be a simple name swap or a placeholder error.
Other existing colours like “Porcelain” and “Peony” remain, but the absence of “Wintergreen” and the sudden appearance of “Obsidian” and “Moonstone” indicate a shift in Google’s colour strategy.
Although neither Moonstone nor Obsidian variants are currently available for purchase, they are expected to debut at the upcoming Made by Google event on August 20. The event is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series, Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a.
