Pixel 11’s ‘Pistachio’ color option should be ‘Old Avocado’
I don’t know how to describe Google’s green, or “Pistachio” color, for the base Pixel 11. It makes me feel some type of way, and photos don’t do it justice.
Google's "Pistachio" color for the base Pixel 11 has left many wondering how to describe it. Photos do not do it justice, as it appears to lack the vibrancy and warmth of the actual pistachio nut. The Pixel has always showcased a unique design philosophy in hardware, but Pistachio stands out as an outlier. It is exclusively offered on the Pixel 11, while the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL feature a green option called Olive.
The Pixel 11's Pistachio is often described as muted, with an unsatisfactory level of saturation. Comparisons to old avocado come to mind, as it just doesn't seem to capture the essence of the color it is named after. One critic even humorously suggested adding a brown Qi2 grip to the back to match the color. Ultimately, the matte Obsidian finish is the preferred choice over Pistachio.
The Pixel 11's case, however, makes the color choice more appealing, as it has a bright lining on the inside. With four color options - including Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian - the Pixel 11 is set to launch for pre-order today.
