Google will finally launch the Pixel 10 series next month, and leakers have apparently already revealed all the colors. These shades include Obsidian and Porcelain, with Lemongrass and Indigo adding a much-needed splash of color.
So we thought now would be a good time to choose our favorite Google Pixel phone colors ever. I asked the Android Authority team to choose their favorite shades, tallied their choices, and created this list. Do note that we excluded the Pixel-A series and Pixel Fold line. Do you agree with our choices? Let us know your favorite Pixel colors in the comments!

5) Really Blue (Pixel 1)
You can’t accuse us of recency bias; several team members chose the original Pixel’s Really Blue hue as one of their favorite Pixel colors. Google has subsequently released blue Pixel phones (more on that in a bit), but none have matched the deep shade seen here.
The Really Blue color scheme was available on both the standard and XL models and was accompanied by the more conventional Very Silver and Quite Black shades. I also like how each color scheme, including the blue model, unabashedly extends to the phone’s frame.
4) Black and White (Pixel 2 XL)
Ah, the Panda or Penguin Pixel. Several Android Authority team members, including yours truly, chose the Black and White Pixel 2 XL as one of the best Pixel colors. This was restricted to the XL model and delivered a white rear cover with a black camera window. Look a little closer, and you’ll also find a delightful little orange power button.
Pixel 3 phones retained this camera window element, but there isn’t a stark color contrast between it and the rest of the rear cover. Side note: I think of the Black and White Pixel 2 XL whenever I’m driving behind a black-and-white Volkswagen Up.
