As shared by industry insider @OnLeaks in a report for Android Headlines, the Pixel 9 Pro — Google’s new, smaller flagship model that will slot in alongside the Pixel 9 Pro XL — will come in four colors: Porcelain, Obsidian, Rose, and Hazel.
Porcelain and Obsidian are staple colorways in Google’s lineup, just your basic white and black, respectively. Hazel is another color Google has been fond of ever since the Pixel 7 Pro, but this year’s is a much more muted shade, almost like a warm taupe. New to the lineup is the Rose color option, which comes across as a pale, subtle pink.

What we know about the Pixel 9 Pro
Previous leaks have revealed quite a bit about this phone. For starters, it will be an all-new model in Google’s flagship lineup — confusingly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL will be the true sequel to the Pixel 8 Pro, whereas the standard 9 Pro is a more compact version that still comes with all the Pro perks.
We know from leaked marketing materials that Google will be leaning heavily on its Gemini AI as a selling point for the Pixel 9 series. One such feature is something called Pixel Screenshots, which seems to work a bit like the controversial Windows Recall AI feature that can be queried about things you’ve done on your device, except it appears to require that you take a screenshot of the things you would like it to remember. A year of free Gemini Advanced is also expected to be included with the purchase of a Pro model.
There’s not much left for the imagination with Google’s upcoming smartphones, but they will bare all on August 13.
