With the launch of the Google Pixel 9 successor expected in the coming weeks, its no surprise that leaks and rumours have begun to spill out from everywhere. The device family has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and is widely considered to be among the best Android phones on the market right now.

Today, renders which appear to showcase the colour options for the Pro model have appeared online – and it's a tasty offering! Of course, as you'd probably expect, the range is more muted and classy, but that doesn't mean the brand can't still have some fun.

The renders shared by Android Headlines shows off a quartet of colour options, including some classics and a tasty new option. Official names of Obsidian, Porcelain, Moonstone and Jade will be better known to you or I as black, white, blue-grey and a gorgeous pistachio green.

It's the latter which has really caught my eye. Not only is it bang on trend right now – those pale, pastel green hues are all the rage across fashion and design – it's about as close as the brand has come to a return of the iconic Google Pixel 7 Pro colour scheme.

The Hazel colour variant on that model remains one of the best designed phones I've ever seen, with beautiful curves and a really stylish colour profile. The green is definitely paler on the new Pro variant, but it's paired with gold accents to really bring that whole vibe back.

I'm sure I won't be the only one who enjoys it. I've long been opposed to the brand's decision to move away from the sleek design of those elder models. Still, this is the best I think it has looked so far, and if my position is waning, I'm sure others will be too.

The other colour options also look pretty good, though they follow the more traditional formula for Pro-grade devices. That is a single, fairly inoffensive colour scheme, with accents either a shade lighter or darker.

It's not exactly the most inspiring colour designs, but it does do a magnificent job of blending in – which is exactly what it's intended to do.
