There is already a case available in the same shade, and also, a few wallpapers were in the Pixel’s wallpaper collection matching the hue that complements the new shade.
The new “Mint” colour will be available alongside the Obsidian, Hazel, and Rose of the Pixel 8 and the Obsidian, Bay, and Porcelain shades of the Pixel 8 Pro. However, there is a catch; only the 128GB storage option of the two phones, can only be purchased through Google Store in the US.
In India, only the Pixel 8 is made available in the Mint colour with a 128GB storage option. It is available for purchase through Flipkart for Rs 75,999, the same as the other three colours.
