Google has never been shy about offering bold color choices for its Pixel lineup, and the upcoming Pixel 11 series appears to continue that tradition with a fresh palette. A new leak from MyMobiles has published 36 high-resolution press renders covering the three conventional Pixel 11 models—Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL—showing each phone in four colors from three different angles. This is being called the most complete look at the lineup so far, and it reveals some exciting finishes that range from subtle elegance to vibrant pop.
Standard Pixel 11 Colors: A Mix of Subtle and Bold
The standard Pixel 11 is shown in four colors that Google is expected to market as Light Sterling (a pale blue that appears close to lavender in renders), Moss (a rich green), Midnight Haze (charcoal gray), and Fuchsia (a vivid pink). The Fuchsia option is particularly eye-catching, with a brightness that rivals the previous Pixel 10's limited edition colors. The Light Sterling finish, on the other hand, leans towards a cool, almost pastel tone that should appeal to users looking for something softer than the traditional black or white.
These colors are a departure from the usual Pixel palette. In recent years, Google has offered standard models in shades like Sorta Seafoam, Kinda Coral, and Oh So Orange. The new lineup seems to be moving toward slightly more refined names—Light Sterling instead of Just Black, Moss instead of Sage—while still keeping a sense of personality. The Midnight Haze option appears to be a more premium version of black, similar to what Samsung offers with its Phantom Gray, but with a subtle texture that might hide fingerprints better.
Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL Colors: Understated with a Surprising Twist
The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL get a more subdued set of options, at least for the most part. The renders show both phones in what are thought to be Pine (a deep green), Light Fog (a light grayish-white), and Midnight Haze (the same charcoal from the standard model), plus a coral-copper finish that MyMobiles says hadn’t been caught in a previous leak. This warmer option appears to be the same Dune color previously shown in leaked Amazon listings, but these new renders give us a much clearer look at it across both Pro models and from several angles.
The coral-copper finish is particularly striking because it blends a warm orange undertone with a metallic sheen, making it stand out considerably more than the usual black, white, and green choices. It could become the signature color for the Pro models, much like the Pixel 9 Pro's Hazel or the Pixel 6 Pro's Cloudy White. The Pine and Light Fog options are likely to appeal to users who prefer classic, professional aesthetics, while the coral-copper adds a dose of personality without being as loud as the standard model's Fuchsia.
Design Details and Hardware Features
The renders otherwise show the familiar Pixel design, including the pill-shaped camera island and flat frame. All three phones also appear to retain triple rear cameras, which suggests Google is sticking with its proven camera system. The Pro models also appear to include the circular area in the camera bar associated with Pixel Glow, Google’s new color-changing light array that debuted on higher-end models. This feature could offer notifications, charging status, and camera indicators with customizable colors, making it a potential standout feature for the Pro lineup.
Previous leaks suggest the standard Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro will have 6.3-inch displays, while the Pro XL will stretch to 6.8 inches. The lineup is also expected to start with 256GB of storage—a welcome upgrade from the base 128GB of previous generations—and use Google’s new Tensor G6 chip. The Tensor G6 is expected to bring significant improvements in AI processing, photography, and battery efficiency, building on the successes of the Tensor G5. Leaked Amazon listings indicated US starting prices of $899 for the Pixel 11, $1,099 for the Pro, and $1,299 for the Pro XL, though none of this has been confirmed.
Where This Fits in Pixel History
Google’s Pixel line has gone through several design phases. The Pixel 1 and 2 were relatively plain, while the Pixel 4 introduced a two-tone back. The Pixel 6 series revolutionized the look with the horizontal camera bar and distinctive two-tone colors like Sorta Sunny and Stormy Black. The Pixel 8 refined the design with a more integrated metal frame, and the Pixel 10 continued with subtle tweaks. Now, the Pixel 11 appears to be a consolidation of this design language: the camera bar is still pill-shaped but now includes the Pixel Glow circular element for Pro models, and the colors are both more numerous and more intentional.
The color choices also reflect broader market trends. Apple’s iPhones have moved toward pastels and bold colors like pink and green, while Samsung offers a wide range in its Galaxy S series. Google is competing directly with these flagships, and offering four distinct colors for the standard model—plus four for the Pro models—gives customers more personalization options than ever before. The inclusion of a coral-copper finish is particularly smart, as it fills a gap between traditional gold and peach tones that many users crave but few manufacturers deliver.
What to Expect at the Launch Event
Google has confirmed that its Made by Google event will take place in New York on August 12, with Pixel 11 pre-orders also set to begin that day. Alongside the phones, the event is expected to showcase new Pixel Buds, a potential Pixel Watch 4, and possibly updates to Google’s smart home lineup. The Pixel 11 colors will likely be unveiled alongside detailed specs, camera samples, and availability details.
For now, these leaked renders provide the clearest look yet at what customers can expect. The standard Pixel 11’s Fuchsia and Light Sterling colors will appeal to younger, trend-conscious buyers, while the Pro models’ coral-copper finish offers a premium alternative to the usual silver and gray. With tensor G6 chip expected to deliver up to 20% faster AI performance and improved battery life, the Pixel 11 series is positioning itself as a strong contender in the premium smartphone market.
One area of particular interest is how the colors will translate to real-world use. Renders often oversaturate or desaturate colors compared to production units. The Light Sterling, for instance, might appear more lavender in certain lighting, while the Fuchsia could lean slightly toward magenta. Google has a history of subtle color shifts between marketing materials and actual devices—the Pixel 8's Hazel, for example, looked much greener in renders than in person. However, the consistency across multiple leaked images from MyMobiles suggests that these renders are close to final production versions.
The pricing also signals a premium positioning. At $899 for the base model, the Pixel 11 is $100 more than last year's Pixel 10 starting price of $799, but it includes double the storage (256GB vs 128GB). The Pro models have also increased by $50 each, likely due to the addition of the Pixel Glow feature and upgraded camera sensors. Whether customers will accept these price hikes remains to be seen, but early indicators from online forums suggest excitement about the new colors could help offset sticker shock.
As August 12 approaches, more details are expected to emerge, including camera specs, battery sizes, and color availability in different regions. Some colors may be exclusive to certain carriers or markets—Fuchsia, for example, might be available only through Google's online store, similar to past limited editions. The coral-copper Pro finish could also be a carrier exclusive, though no information is available yet.
