It's...fresh? Sorry.

Google's Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are now available in a new color: Mint.

The latest shade comes after a not-so-subtle teaser by Google, with the company announcing that "something fresh is coming" on Jan. 25.

The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in the new Mint color will be available for purchase in the U.S. on Thursday at 8 a.m. ET.

In Europe, however, the verdant hue is already available. In the UK, for example, the Google Pixel 8 Pro is now available in four colors: Mint, Bay, Obsidian, and Porcelain, while the Google Pixel 8 comes in Mint, Hazel, Obsidian, and Rose.

The new color is (unsurprisingly) a gentle, minty green. From pictures alone, it looks to be a little less flashy than the other "colorful" option, which is the blue, Bay color. It's a nice option, though, especially since green in all its shades is sadly underutilized by smartphone makers for some odd reason.

The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones in Mint have the same specs as they do in other colors, but are only available from the Google Store.

It's also worth noting that the latest Pixels, regardless of the shade, come with Google's new AI features including Circle to Search.
