OnePlus 12 Colours: A Fresh Palette for the Upcoming Launch

Highlights

OnePlus 12 to debut in Pale Green, Rock Black, and potentially White.
Revamped green shade continues OnePlus’ signature colour tradition.
Rock Black offers a matte frosted finish for a sleek, premium look.
White variant features a cool, silver-tinted appearance.

With the OnePlus 12’s launch date set for December 5, a rather talked-about aspect of the upcoming flagship is its colour palette.

OnePlus has historically maintained a balance between traditional hues and innovative new shades, and the OnePlus 12 seems to be no exception.

A recent design reveal by OnePlus lays bare the kind of colour scheme we can expect this time around.

A Tradition of Green

OnePlus has long embraced green as a signature colour for its flagship devices.
Even some of its non-flagship ones like the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, bore the same green hue on the back.

The OnePlus 12 continues this tradition with its ‘Pale Green’ variant. This year, the brand has refreshed this iconic colour, giving it a more contemporary feel while maintaining the OnePlus identity.

The Classic Rock Black

The ‘Rock Black’ option represents a staple in OnePlus’s colour offerings. Eagle-eyed OnePlus users might remember the Sandstone offerings from the company a while back.

However, this colour is more than just a visual choice; it’s a practical one.

The matte frosted finish on the Rock Black OnePlus 12 is designed to minimise fingerprint smudges, ensuring the device maintains its sleek appearance.

A Potential Splash of White

The third colour under consideration for the OnePlus 12 is White. This variant, as revealed in official images, exudes a cool, silver-tinted aesthetic.

This is a pretty refreshing choice of palette for OnePlus but it does mimic quite closely the OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey, launched a while back.

However, this White colour isn’t just about the look but the feel, with a matte finish that adds to the premium sensation of the handset.
