Last week, Google shared a binary code and a video showcasing the mint green color splash on the Pixel 8 Pro on its social media platforms. The binary code translated to “fresh year, fresh drop,” hinting at the new color option. Interestingly, the new Mint color will only be available in the 128GB internal storage variant for both Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Higher storage variants will only be offered in the original color choices.

In India, the Mint color option is exclusively available for the vanilla Pixel 8 through Flipkart. The color will be exclusive to the Google Store and Google Fi in the US.
