All three models in the Google Pixel 11 lineup, the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, have now appeared in leaked images before launch. On July 30, 2026, leaker Evan Blass posted images of all three models to X in quick succession. The first post for each model shows four colors, and follow-up posts show the back, sides and front from different angles. Google has already said it will announce the Pixel 11 series on August 12 and open preorders the same day, but it has not disclosed color names or which colors each model will come in.
The images help connect color names from earlier reports to how the phones actually look. However, they are not official product photos released by Google, and the color names are unconfirmed. It is too early to treat the colors in the renders as identical to the finished devices.
Three models, four colors each, from a single source
Blass's first posts showing the three models went up within about three minutes of one another, from 16:35 to 16:38 UTC on July 30. They cover the standard model, the Pro and the Pro XL, each with four images attached. Later posts show the same colors from other angles, making it possible to follow the front-and-back pairing for each color variant.
What this batch adds is not the existence of individual colors but the ease of comparison. In early July, Dealabs reported color names by model, and 9to5Google confirmed several colors and images from a product page that briefly appeared on Amazon. On July 22, 9to5Google also judged that renders OnLeaks published through a separate channel matched the images on Amazon. Images from independent sources show the same look, which adds support for the four-color lineup.
That said, the Amazon listing was inconsistent. The standard model's title read "Obsidian," "Hibiscus" and "Pistachio," while the description said "Midnight," "Fuchsia" and "Moss." The Pro listing also used "Sterling," which doesn't match the "Light Fog" reported by Dealabs. Even when the images match, the names cannot be considered settled.
Fuchsia and Moss, Dune and Pine: how the palettes split

The candidate colors reported by Dealabs divide clearly between the standard model and the Pro models. The standard model gets prominent pink and green shades, while the Pro and Pro XL share white, black, pale pink and deep green. Dealabs lists the Pixel 11 Pro Fold in two colors, Midnight Haze and Pine, but none of the three posts Blass published this time include the foldable.
| Model | Reported candidate colors | Palette tendency seen in the images |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel 11 | Light Sterling, Midnight Haze, Fuchsia, Moss | Light purple, black, pink, green |
| Pixel 11 Pro / Pro XL | Light Fog, Midnight Haze, Dune, Pine | White, black, pale peach, muted green |
| Pixel 11 Pro Fold | Midnight Haze, Pine | Two colors reported: black and green |
The match between color names and actual colors is a candidate pairing made by comparing Dealabs' descriptions with the renders. Display settings and image compression also change how colors look, so we cannot say for certain that "Light Sterling" will look purplish on the real device.
The Dune candidate for the Pro models pairs a pale coral-pink back with a frame and camera bar edge in a near-gold tone. Its saturation is lower than the standard model's Fuchsia candidate, so the two warm colors differ in tone.

The Pine candidate looks like a subdued green with a touch of gray rather than a whitish pale green. Dune and Pine differ in hue but share a tendency to avoid strong primary colors. The difference between the standard and Pro models lies not in the number of colors but in the brightness and saturation used to fill the same four slots.
The standard/Pro color split continues from Pixel 10
The officially announced standard Pixel 10 came in four colors: Obsidian and Frost, plus Indigo and Lemongrass. The Pro and Pro XL shared four colors as well: Obsidian and Porcelain, plus Moonstone and Jade. The standard model got blue and yellow-green, while the Pro line got white, gray-purple and pale green.
The Pixel 11 candidates appear to keep this split while swapping out the lead colors. On the standard model, Fuchsia and Moss move to the front in place of Indigo and Lemongrass. On the Pro line, the cooler Moonstone and Jade pairing shifts to the warm Dune and the deep green Pine. Sharing the same four colors across the Pro and Pro XL is also unchanged from the previous generation.
In other words, the change this leak suggests is not an increase in the number of colors. Google appears to be keeping the four-color framework while redistributing brightness and saturation between the standard and Pro models. In the leaked images at least, the two lines have different tones even with the same number of colors.
Three things to check on August 12
Google Store Japan has announced that it will unveil the Pixel 11 series on August 12 and begin preorders the same day. At this point, only the series name and the date are officially confirmed. The model names attached to Evan Blass's images, the color names reported by Dealabs and the product descriptions that appeared on Amazon will need to be checked against Google's product pages.
First, whether names such as Light Sterling and Dune will actually be used. Second, whether all colors will be available in Japan. Third, whether colors will be limited by storage capacity. Google's teaser page does not show the colors on sale in Japan or which are offered by capacity.
Gaps between renders and real devices also remain. Light colors are easily affected by lighting and surrounding colors, and glass reflections and frame surface finishes can change the impression. Until the official colors are confirmed on the product page on August 12, and then checked against hands-on photos or in-store displays, it is safest to hold off on deciding which color to buy.
