Google’s Pixel 9 series is now available, with a range of color options to choose from. Whether you prefer the vibrant Wintergreen or the more subtle Rose Quartz, there are plenty of finishes to consider. However, the availability of colors varies depending on the model you select. Porcelain (off-white) and Obsidian (black) are the only colors offered across all four phones.

If you opt for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you are limited to these two colors. The Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL models offer Rose Quartz (light pink) and Hazel (grey) in addition to Porcelain and Obsidian. The regular Pixel 9 comes in Peony (darker pink) and Wintergreen (light green).

Unfortunately, if you desire the Rose Quartz finish on a smaller phone, you are out of luck. While you can find a case in a similar color, it is not the same.

If you decide on the Pixel 9 or 9 Pro Fold, the color options for both storage capacities (128GB or 256GB for Pixel 9, 256GB or 512GB for 9 Pro Fold) are available. However, things become more complex if you opt for one of the other models.

If you want the Porcelain or Rose Quartz versions of the Pixel 9 Pro, you are limited to 128GB or 256GB of storage in the UK, or 256GB in the US. The 512GB version is only available in Hazel or Obsidian finishes.

The Pixel 9 Pro XL offers a more complicated purchasing process. The Rose Quartz model is only available with the 256GB model, while Porcelain and Hazel finishes come in 128GB or 512GB variants.

If you require 1TB of storage, you must choose an Obsidian model. This option is only available for the 9 Pro XL in the UK, and also for the 9 Pro in the US.

The limited availability of colors on specific configurations raises questions about the overall color selection process. We have reached out to Google for more information and will update this article accordingly.

However, if there are no changes, you may face some surprises when purchasing your Pixel 9 phone. For more information on the best Pixel 9 deals and charging speeds, check out our detailed guide.
