Highlights
- Leaks hint at four Pixel 10 shades, Obsidian (Black), Blue, Iris (Purple) and Limoncello (Yellow).
- The Pixel 10 Pro/XL may come in Obsidian, Green, Sterling (Grey) and Porcelain (White).
- Google may use Limoncello as a light shade, and Iris continues a Pixel 9a trend, while Blue returns after skipping last year.
- The Pixel 10 lineup may closely resemble previous models, making colour the key differentiator.
A fresh leak has revealed the possible colour options for Google’s upcoming Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL models. Since the new generation is expected to look very similar to the current Pixel lineup, colour might be the key way Google sets them apart physically.
According to a new post by tipster Mystic Leaks on Telegram, the upcoming Pixel 10 lineup could come in four shades. Tipster Mystic Leaks earlier leaked the Material 3 Expressive redesign of the Google Clock. In the post, Mystic Leaks wrote, “This updated collection includes all the light and dark theme variants, plus brand-new additions for every colour option.”
Revealing the colour details of all Pixel 10 Mobiles, the tipster specified –
Pixel 10 Colour Variants –
- Obsidian (Black)
- Blue (Blue)
- Iris (Purple)
- Limoncello (Yellow)
Pixel 10 Pro / XL colour variants –
- Obsidian (Black)
- Green (Green)
- Sterling (Grey)
- Porcelain (White)

“Obsidian” is pretty much a staple at this point and even showed up in the recent “Ask more of your phone” ad shoot video leak
Interestingly, there doesn’t seem to be a typical light or neutral colour like Porcelain this time. It’s possible that “Limoncello,” a light yellow, might take on that role. While it may not be the final name, Google has used Limoncello before as a placeholder, similar to how it once used Lemongrass.
The “Iris” shade would continue the colour story from the Pixel 9a, and “Blue” makes a comeback after being skipped last year. Blue has a long history in the Pixel family, from the limited-edition Really Blue Pixel to Kinda Blue on the Pixel 2, Barely Blue on the Pixel 4a, Bay on the Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel 8a.
For Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 XL, colours such as “Obsidian” and “Porcelain” are most obvious. The “Sterling” colour mentioned in the leak seems somewhere in the middle of white and black. It could be similar to the Hazel Pixel 9 Pro, which more or less looks like grey colour.
Many tech enthusiasts seemed curious about the “Green” colour mentioned. We are wondering if there is a chance the Pixel 8 Pro’s Mint or Pixel 8a’s Aloe could make a come back.
In any case, these are just leaks as of now. But at least we have a colourful preview of what to expect from Google’s next-gen Pixel phones.
