Google has unveiled a new mint green colour option for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, providing a refreshing alternative to the traditional colour choices. This mint colour is exclusively available with the base 128GB storage for both models, deviating from the standard black, hazel, and rose gold options. Described as inspired by the vibrant hues found in nature and promoting a sense of energizing calmness, the mint green adds a unique touch to the Pixel family.
For Pixel enthusiasts opting for the smaller variant, this marks a departure from the usual color palette that has dominated since the phone’s release in October. Being a new addition, Mint Green is limited to the 128GB storage configuration; those seeking higher storage capacities must stick to the original colour options.
Google’s design team characterizes the mint green as a colour inspired by nature, creating a luminous and calming effect. Described as a “fresher version of you,” this new colour variant aims to infuse a sense of daring, focus, and optimism into the user experience. How consumers will respond to this bold addition to the Pixel lineup remains to be seen.
