Rumors of Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are swirling left and right, but as I sat down to catch up on them, one thing jumped at me that might have flown under the radar amidst all the features: Colors. Specifically, single-tone colors.
If you think back through the entire Pixel portfolio, you’ll remember that Google has often played with color combinations, either through buttons, contours, or glass. But all the leaked Pixel 8 and 8 Pro renders show a new design direction for Google. Besides the rounder corners, uniform bezels, and flat displays, it’s clear that every Pixel 8 and 8 Pro variant is sporting a monotone color throughout its entire body. No accents of any kind.
