The upcoming Google Pixel 10 series phones are rumored to be similar in design to the current models, making personal style through color a key differentiator. A new leak gives us a peek at the potential color options for the standard Pixel 10 and the larger Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL models.

What the Leak Reveals: Pixel 10 Color Options
According to a recent leak from “Mystic Leaks,” we now have potential color names for the standard Pixel 10 and the larger Pixel 10 Pro/Pro XL models.
Pixel 10 Colors
The standard Pixel 10 is rumored to come in four distinct shades:
- Obsidian (Black): This is Google’s classic black option, a staple in every Pixel lineup. It’s a safe and popular choice for many users.
- Blue: Google skipped a true blue last year, so its return is notable. We’re curious to see what shade of blue Google goes with this time, perhaps something vibrant or a more subtle tone. Past Pixels have featured different blues like the Kinda Blue Pixel 2 or the Barely Blue Pixel 4a.
- Iris (Purple): This suggests a purple option, following the lead of a similar color potentially offered on the Pixel 9a. Purple has been a popular color trend in recent years.
- Limoncello (Yellow): This is perhaps the most interesting name. While possibly a stand-in name, “Limoncello” likely points to a bright, possibly light yellow hue. Google has used “Lemongrass” before for a similar warm, greenish-yellow color on devices and accessories.
Google has a history of using fun, food-inspired names for colors, and Limoncello fits right in. It could serve as the lighter, more energetic option in the standard Pixel 10 lineup.

Comparing the potential new Blue and Iris options to previous Pixel phones offers some perspective on the range Google explores. The Bay color on the Pixel 8 Pro was a distinctive muted blue-grey, while the Pixel 8a introduced a brighter Aloe green. The Pixel 9a is rumored to have a Lilac color which might be close to the leaked Iris for the Pixel 10.

Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL Colors
For the larger, premium Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL models, the leaked colors are:
- Obsidian (Black): Again, the standard black option.
- Green: A solid green option sounds promising. We hope Google opts for a vibrant shade, perhaps similar to the Mint on the Pixel 8 Pro or the Aloe on the Pixel 8a, rather than a muted tone.
- Sterling (Grey): This name suggests a metallic or solid grey. It sounds like it could be a neutral, sophisticated option, possibly resembling the Hazel color seen on the Pixel 9 Pro, which could appear greyish depending on the light.
- Porcelain (White): This is Google’s standard, clean white option, a consistent offering for the Pro models.
The Sterling color seems poised to fill the role of a refined, potentially matte grey or silver in the lineup, offering an alternative to the classic black and white. A vibrant Green would definitely stand out and add a pop of color to the higher-end models.

Why Colors Matter
With phones looking increasingly similar, the color you choose is often the easiest way to personalize your device and make a statement. Google has experimented with various shades over the years, from bold blues and greens to subtle greys and whites. The potential lineup for the Pixel 10 series suggests a mix of dependable classics and a few potentially exciting, fresh options.
What’s Next?
These leaked colors give us an early look at how Google might distinguish the upcoming Pixel 10 lineup. While leaks provide exciting hints, color names and final shades can sometimes change before launch. We’ll have to wait for Google’s official announcement later this year to see these colors in person and find out their final names.
