The 5 best Google Pixel colors: From Really Blue to Oh So Orange and beyond
Google's put some excellent colors on devices over the years — here are our five favorites
I don’t know what happened to smartphones. Companies used to create vibrant devices with multiple enticing colorways to choose from. Today, Apple, Google, and Samsung seem to be competing to see which can ship the most muted hues. It wasn’t always like this. Google, in particular, used to embrace beautiful colorways, but all hope is not lost. With the Pixel 7a, it proved it could still embrace pigment — and the upcoming Pixel 8 series promises even more choices.

Google's anticipated Pixel 7a has officially arrived as a new challenger to shake up the list of this year's best budget Android phones. Google's latest midrange entry delivers the same powerful Tensor G2 chip introduced in its flagship Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro last fall, providing all the performance and computational photography power of those premium phones at a much more wallet-friendly price.
The Kindle Paperwhite is the mid-range e-book reader from Amazon, a rather popular device thanks to its flush 6.8-inch screen, even frontlighting, and comfortable size. Our review says as much; it's an impressive little e-reader. But to date, there's only been one color available for the fifth-generation Paperwhite. Starting today, both Denim and Agave Green colors will be available for the 16GB Paperwhite as well as the 32GB Signature Edition. But that's not all; Amazon is also launching a matching Agave Green leather case (with no need to launch a Denim cover, as it already exists).
Firefox extension developed with George Lucas's ILM ensures colors are consistent across devices
Gotta match 'em all
Say you find the perfect shade of blue for your website while using your laptop, and then you see it on a new device like a tablet, and it's completely different. That's because browser color profiles can change across devices, which can make colors sometimes look very different. Usually, browsers are leveraging operating system color management to display colors and pictures with an optimal, but generalized user experience in mind. There's a new Firefox extension that can help you ensure colors remain true to a creator's vision anytime you see them in a browser.

Color accuracy may be the next hurdle for smartphone displays
Skin tones have been mentioned in passing during countless smartphone announcements over the years, but none had made accurate and authentic looking skin come across as a priority until Google announced Real Tone for the Pixel 6. Now that the subject is on the table, Pantone is challenging smartphone manufacturers to show people as they look in real life with its new SkinTone Validated program.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 Bespoke Edition brings back the magic of Moto Maker in 2021
Customize your phone with up to 49 possible combinations
For all our complaining about smartphone manufacturers keeping the fun colors to entry-level phones — I’m looking at you, Google — gadgets feel a lot more fun than they did a decade ago. Sure, you can still opt for a slab of black glass and metal, but with blues, greens, yellows, and more available for purchase, why not add some radiance back into your life. With Samsung’s latest addition to the Galaxy Z lineup, it’s taking things one step further — complete color customization for its latest foldable.
Google's color names for the Pixel 6 are as predictably silly as you'd expect
Will you opt for 'Kinda Coral' or 'Sorta Sunny?'
There are still eight days to go until Google’s launch event for the Pixel 6, and that leaves us plenty of time for some final leaks to squeeze in under the wire. We’ve known all of the color variants for both models since the official reveal back in August, but as any Android fan can tell you, calling a smartphone “black” just isn’t good enough. Google has always used kitschy color names for Pixels, and its latest series is no different.

A shiny new variant for your next shiny new phone

It's safe to assume the green option will look similar to the Galaxy Z Fold3 launched last month, which looks pretty phenomenal in person.
Google's going through a bit of a creative phase right now. With Android 12 and Material You just weeks away from a stable build, you can expect plenty of its apps to gain UI changes big and small over the coming months. Gmail is giving a fresh coat of paint to its labels, with tabs like "Updates" and "Promotions" gaining a little extra vibrancy.
