It's a thing that Google's phones usually are equipped with eye-catching and interesting colors each time. Especially the flagship ones. And this year is no exceptions, and Google is providing you with three eye-catching colors to choose for your next Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.
Here, we discuss the color options for the two phones. Our main aim with this article is to help you pick which color to go for. Now, let's discuss!
What colors are the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro available in?
Each phone from the Pixel 8 series comes in three color options. For the 'vanilla' Pixel 8, we have Hazel, Obsidian, and Rose. The more powerful Pixel 8 Pro comes in Porcelain, Obsidian, and Bay Blue.Pixel 8 colors:
- Hazel
- Obsidian

Pixel 8 Pro colors:
- Obsidian

Now, let's dive into the details!
Pixel 8 colors: all the official hues
Let's first start with the Pixel 8, the 'vanilla' model. It sports three colors, nothing too crazy in terms of shades but at the same time quite beautiful. All of the Pixel 8 colors are fresh, youthful, and interesting, and they look great with the now-recognizable Pixel look.

Before the official unveiling, this color first became known to the tech community by the name Licorice, which is actually a plant (roots are used for health benefits). The official name of the color is Obsidian, and it's a gorgeous deep black that brings sophistication to the Pixel 8 design.The deep black excludes this phone from the usual boring black phone crowd. Judging by the official images, it does luckily look like it will be matte. This will help with fingerprint smudges.Pixel 8 in Rose

We move on to the next exciting Pixel 8 color, Rose. It's a gorgeous and fresh pink-orangey color, very light and bright. Basically, it brings some youthful feeling to the phone, while maintaining a sophisticated look. The camera bar and the frame of the phone are painted in a more pink-ish tone and complement the fresh look.
This color is ideal for those of you who want something new on your phone, something bright and fresh, something youthful.

The Hazel color for the Pixel 8 is a subdued green-gray color, which looks quite trendy while at the same time not being too in-your-face. The Pixel 8 is not much different in terms of design than its predecessor, the Pixel 7, and we see that in how Google executed the color as well.
We have the sides of the phone and the camera bar painted in a matching color to the back of the phone for a cohesive look.
Pixel 8 Pro colors
The Pixel 8 Pro also comes in three colors. This time around, Google has decided to keep things rather conservative and we're getting some straightforward color options.

Porcelain for the Pixel 8 Pro is a very interesting shade, taking the place of a straightforward white shade. It is a very light color and in certain lighting conditions it may look just like white, but it has a touch of color and interesting-ness to it. The camera bar and frame of the phone are painted in a slightly darker color to match, and the Pixel 8 Pro in Porcelain looks overall quite sophisticated and polished.Pixel 8 Pro in Obsidian

The Obsidian on the Pixel 8 Pro is, quite straightforwardly, the black version this year. The camera bar design and the changes to the front of the phone (the flat screen this time instead of the slightly curved one on the predecessor) make this phone interesting nonetheless. The black is complemented by a professional-looking dark silver-looking color for the frame and camera bar. The back of the phone also matte, so it won't attract fingerprint smudges as much.Pixel 8 Pro in Bay Blue

And finally, we have Bay Blue, which is a light blue color that was rumored to be called Sky Blue. Google is no stranger to blue phones: the latest addition to the company's mid-range portfolio comes in a light blue shade. The Pixel 8 Pro's blue is a bit different than the Pixel 7a's though. We have a deeper, slightly more saturated blue for the premium phone. As usual, we get a matching, lighter-toned frame and camera bar.Conclusion: standard but still gorgeous Pixel 8 colors
Whichever color you decide to go for, your next Pixel 8 or 8 Pro will look stunning. The dual design and big camera bar look that have now become Google's staple is very interesting, and the polished colors are elevated and beautiful. All in all, we're quite pleased with the Pixel 8 color palette this year and we hope you're sharing our enthusiasm.
