Google is now offering the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro in a “Mint” color. It’s a really light shade of green that reflects Google’s penchant for choosing pastel colors that look almost white depending on the lighting.
For comparison, it’s nowhere near as dark as the Pixel 6a in Sage. (Other exceptions to this Google tendency have been Bay on the Pixel 8 Pro, Coral Pixel 7a, and the Pixel 4’s Oh So Orange.) Meanwhile, the Pixel 8 joins the Pixel 4a in having an out of cycle color launch, though Barely Blue not being available on day one was due to pandemic-related supply constraints.
With Mint, the Pixel 8 (Hazel, Obsidian, Rose) and 8 Pro (Bay, Obsidian, Porcelain) are now available in four colors, like the Pixel 7a (Sea, Charcoal, Snow, Coral). It’s a real shame Google didn’t release this shade in October.
Mint is available at the Google Store (and Google Fi Wireless in the US). The 128GB Pixel 8 is $699 and the 8 Pro is $999. There will be a 20% discount in the US Google Store from January 25 to February 3.
