5) Actually Blue (Pixel 1)

You’ll be able to’t accuse us of recency bias; a number of crew members selected the unique Pixel’s Actually Blue hue as certainly one of their favourite Pixel colors. Google has subsequently launched blue Pixel phones (extra on that in a bit), however none have matched the deep shade seen right here.
The Actually Blue shade scheme was out there on each the usual and XL fashions and was accompanied by the extra typical Very Silver and Fairly Black shades. I additionally like how every shade scheme, together with the blue mannequin, unabashedly extends to the cellphone’s body.
4) Black and White (Pixel 2 XL)

Ah, the Panda or Penguin Pixel. A number of Android Authority crew members, together with yours really, selected the Black and White Pixel 2 XL as one of many best Pixel colors. This was restricted to the XL mannequin and delivered a white rear cowl with a black digicam window. Look a bit of nearer, and also you’ll additionally discover a pleasant little orange energy button.
Pixel 3 phones retained this digicam window factor, however there isn’t a stark shade distinction between it and the remainder of the rear cowl. Aspect notice: I consider the Black and White Pixel 2 XL at any time when I’m driving behind a black-and-white Volkswagen Up.
3) Sorta Sage (Pixel 5)

It’s really a tie between our third and second hottest colors. In any occasion, loads of colleagues selected the Sorta Sage Pixel 5 as their high Pixel shade. Severely, it acquired some love in our Slack channel, too.
The Sorta Sage shade is kind of pale, however was nonetheless a welcome addition for individuals who needed to quietly step away from the standard greys, blacks, and whites. It’s not like you could have some other selection, although, as Simply Black was the one various.
2) Bay (Pixel 8 Professional)

Paul Jones / Android Authority
The Pixel 8 Professional arrived with a Bay shade possibility, and it’s tied with the Sorta Sage Pixel 5 in our vote. Bay is a really nice gentle shade of blue in comparison with the Pixel 2 XL’s saturated darkish blue hue.
Google’s 2023 flagship Android phones are additionally out there in Rose, Hazel, Obsidian, and Porcelain. Nonetheless, Obsidian and Porcelain have been the one different Pixel 8 collection colors that acquired any votes from the crew.
1) Oh So Orange (Pixel 4)

That is it. Our favourite Google Pixel shade debuted on 2019’s Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. This was the primary shade I considered when writing down my private record of the best Pixel colors. The Oh So Orange mannequin has an unabashedly orange rear cowl that appears to range in depth relying on your ambient lighting. It additionally has a black digicam housing, a black body, and a pale orange energy button. All of this got here collectively to make one of many extra enduring smartphone variants.
I spent loads of time with the Oh So Orange Pixel 4 again within the day, and had a number of complaints concerning the cellphone itself. However I actually want Google would revive this shade scheme for future Pixel phones. It looks as if many Android Authority crew members really feel the identical means.
Honorable mentions

Actually, there are such a lot of good Pixel colors, so I’ve three extra honorable mentions that each one achieved the identical variety of votes. The first shade is Kinda Coral, which debuted on the Pixel 6. In reality, I nonetheless consider this shade possibility immediately once I consider the Pixel 6 line. This consists of a pinkish rear cowl and a pink strip above the black digicam bar. It’s a disgrace we haven’t seen this on subsequent fashions.
Sorta Seafoam (seen above) is one other Pixel 6 shade that made the record. This can be a greenish shade tinged with blue, full with a lightweight yellow strip above the black digicam bar.
Our ultimate honorable point out is the Pixel 9‘s Wintergreen shade scheme, which is a really pale inexperienced. It’s not as vibrant as one thing just like the Galaxy Be aware 20’s Mystic Inexperienced, however it’s nonetheless a refreshing change from typical hues.
