Hibiscus
This hot pink shade is an eye-catching colorway for sure, and guaranteed to make heads turn. Even the rims of the camera bar match the body, making for a strikingly bold ensemble. This is also a color that’s unique to the Pixel 11, as the other models don’t have similar colors.
Pistachio
This understated, almost gray-toned green is a much warmer version of the olive green shade found on the other Pixel 11 models. Clearly, Google wanted the littlest Pixel 11 option to be brighter and more colorful than its upper-tier counterparts.
Frost
This is another Pixel 11 shade that isn’t found on the more expensive Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL. In fact, none of the other Pixel 11 models even have a blue colorway. Frost is a pale, icy blue colorway that gives the Pixel 11 a serene look.
Obsidian
There’s no way Google would ever skip the black option a smartphone release. After all, black colorways like the Pixel 11 in Obsidian sell the most for most smartphones. If you are a no-nonsense individual who can’t deal with color, stick with this classic variant.
The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL come in the exact same squad of colors

Canyon
One of two 1TB options for the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL is Canyon, a pale coral shade that isn’t quite as spunky or orange-y as the original coral colorway from the Pixel 6 era.

Fog
If you’re missing the mint colorway of the special Pixel 8 release, you’ll love Fog on the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. This cool shade of green has a smokey air about it, almost like early morning mist.

Olive
If you’ve ever taken a good, hard look at green olives, this is it. This is a second green shade, but it is much deeper and warm-toned in hue. It isn’t, however, quite as warm or bright as the Pistachio shade found on the base model Pixel 11.

Obsidian
This is the classic black colorway that’s always found in flagships across the board, uniform across every smartphone brand almost. Both the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Google Pixel 11 Pro XL come in 1TB variants of Canyon and Obsidian alone.
Making the final decision about the right Pixel 11 colorway
All Google Pixel 11 models come with either 256GB or 512GB of storage, so you don’t have to take that into consideration when thinking about which color to buy. However, when looking at the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, only Canyon and Obsidian come with 1TB, while all the colors are available in 256GB and 512GB variants. This complicates things, as you’re stuck with only two colors if you want to max out storage when buying a Pixel 11 series phone.

I’ll make this really simple for you. If you want a Pixel 11 device with 1TB of storage, your only option is the Pixel 11 Pro or Pixel 11 Pro XL in Canyon or Obsidian. Naturally, the 11 Pro is cheaper, but the Pixel 11 Pro XL has a larger display, bigger battery, and faster wired charging.
Those of you who are interested in 256GB or 512GB variants will be happy to know that all colorways of the Pixel 11 are open for you to pick from. Know that Obsidian is the only matte shade across all Pixel 11 models, so that’s another factor that makes your choice clear cut. If you don’t want a glossy phone, pick Obsidian, the only color that’s available on all three Pixel 11 models.
If you’re looking for bolder shades, the basic Pixel 11 is better for you as it comes in a hot pink Hibiscus and bright green Pistachio. Canyon is another exciting colorway that is anything but dull, and Google paired it with 1TB memory on both the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL. And remember, it’s your hard-earned money, so don’t be shy about your choice. Pick a colorway that excites you!
