Last week Google teased a new colorway for its Pixel 8 Pro, which was supposed to launch on January 25. We’ve already seen it in leaked press images and now it’s finally official.
So, you can buy the Google Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro in the new mint color, exclusively from the Google Online Store and Google Fi in the US. According to Jenny Davis, Google’s CMF design manager, it’s “a breath of fresh air and a cool breeze of spring. It’s serene, yet not boring. It’s a bright color that really invites the mind to a sense of calm – tranquility”.
It joins Rose, Obsidian and Hazel for the Pixel 8 and Porcelain, Obsidian and Bay for the Pixel 8 Pro. As you’d expect, the specs haven’t changed at all — they’re the same Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro we’ve known since their introduction last October. The only thing that’s new is the color, which was released in collaboration with street artist Ricardo Gonzalez, aka @itsaliving.
As a special way to introduce the new color, he painted an existing Google Pixel billboard in New York City with the new mint color, as you can see in the video above.
If you get a Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro at Mint by February 3rd at 11:59 PM PT, Google will give away a free case with matching colors.
