It's a battle of bold vs. safe hues when choosing a Pixel 9 color

The itsy bitsy 6.3-inch Google Pixel 9 comes in four shades, two of which are basic while the others are eye-catchingly colorful. Neutrals like Obsidian and Porcelain are safe choices, but they don't embody the spirit of a Pixel in my opinion.

Google's phones are full of cutting-edge features that are both insanely good fun and also mind-blowingly useful. Nothing embodies the spirit of such fine Android phones better than bold hues. The Pixel 9 has so many great features and that signature Pixel UI. You want to match that with a boisterous shade like Peony or Wintergreen.

Since Google has launched matching Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Watch 3 options, you can achieve a seamless look regardless of which color Pixel 9 you buy. Don't be afraid to take a risk; go with your gut. And hey, if you feel like you made a mistake for whatever reason later on, you can always fix it up by getting the best case for your Pixel 9.
