You mean the clasp or the part that attaches to the watch itself? The part that attaches to the watch looks white to me, to match the non-colored nylon.

I think it would be more obvious that you made two huge assumptions in your ignorant and rude response.
- They have no metric for how many XL bands they sell because, as I noted, they barely sell them. I have not purchased a watch because they lack the variety in XL bands. Therefore, they haven't sold an XL band to me because they haven't sold me a watch. Also, even for those with a large wrist who have bought an Apple Watch, they are only able to buy several bands maximum, unlike other watch owners who can select from all colors. So there would be no way to compare the purchases in any statistical manner since there is not an option for equal choice.
- Because I am larger than you, you assume the only option is that I have a fat wrist or I lift weights. My wrist has zero fat around it. You can feel my wrist bones just under the skin. My wrist is 230mm in circumference. I have large hands too. They are 8 inches by 4.25 inches. Also, I guess you have never lifted weights, because there literally aren't any muscles in the wrist.

True, and there are actually more tolerant people in this world than we think. However, in some regions, supporting this can mean death or being physically assaulted by the few extreme haters or even govt officials. Thus I am concerned that this can actually lead to individuals being targeted merely by what they are wearing. Again, I hope I am totally off the mark and wrong.
It’s time for fresh hardware, accessories are completing the offering/experience.
What’s the market ‘segment’ you’re alluding to?
Why shouldn’t these straps appeal to many? It’s not like certain colours are only “for” particular genders.
No. Certain colors and even colours tend to appeal more to certain genders and other dispositions. So yes, while they are not designated for a specific gender or market segment or group, certain colors or color families/schemes will nonetheless appeal to a smaller group. And there is nothing wrong with that. Not every color will appeal to everyone. It is disappointing though when all new colors released don’t have at least a more balanced overall appeal. One of the three bands could have been designed with a different segment in mind.
Hahaha. Such as the ‘insecure males who haven’t the self-confidence to wear pastel colours’ segment?!
I agree, I really love the color options. I'm just sad because none of them fit my 230mm wrist :-(
Apple tends to release their watch bands in seasons. These are the summer colors. Check back in the fall for some colors that might interest you.

No just those that don’t find those colors aesthetically complemetary to their fashion choices, skin color or other aspects of their persona or style.
In that case you’ve undoubtedly been well served by the plethora of previous colour options Apple has released since 2015 - a great number of those have been in muted tones, non- pastel, primary, neon or bright colouways.
