We now have a good idea about the colours Google will be offering its Pixel 10 smartphone line-up in, and there are some noteworthy changes.
Android Headlines has posted what it claims to be the “official” colours for the entire Pixel 10 range. Starting with the bog standard Pixel 10, it’ll apparently come in Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Iris, and Midnight.
The latter is described as a new kind of dark grey, which Ultra Blue is set to be similar to royal blue. Iris should be familiar to anyone who’s seen the corresponding shade of Google Pixel 9a, while Limencello is simply described as “mid-tone”.
Pixel 10 Pro colours
As for the three more premium non-foldable models – the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL – they’ll all be available in Sterling Gray, Light Porcelain, Midnight, and Smoky Green.
You’d expect as much given the name, but Sterling Gray is said to be a lighter form of grey than the Midnight Pixel 10. Light Porcelain is more off-white, while Smoky Green is described as a darker shade of green.
Finally we have Google’s third generation foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. That’ll apparently come in either Sterling Grey or Smoky Green, like the rest of the Pro family. Interestingly, this suggests that there’ll be no black or white options.

What does this Pixel 10 leak tell us?
As the report notes, this marks the end of four consecutive generations where Obsidian and Porcelain options represented the classic black and white respectively. Google isn’t exactly ripping up the playbook here, but it is going a tad lighter, with a shift in the naming scheme to match.
New colours aside, we’re not expecting the Pixel 10 family to look all that different to the Pixel 9. Google completely changed its design for the current generation, so it’s expected to stick around for at least another year.
Recent reports have suggested that Google will announce its new Pixel 10 series at a special Made by Google event on August 20.
