Out the box it’s the same colour it’s wildly different to what was shown online really let down.
 
I think the clay (More like Grey) is pretty nice and would complement the Blue titanium iphone well.

After debating back and forth between this and a the fine woven case, I decided to order the clay silicone case.

the color online is more of a warm grey or a taupe without the pink, something that would make the phone case combo more monotone. The one in your picture is more of a cool grey.

The real question is what does the natural titanium actually look like. Apple’s color representation is always slightly off. However the color on the box and the color of the product are so off, it seems like a mistake on Apples part.
 
The one you received looks way better than the online. That would complement the Blue or the Titanium so well.
Yep..
Thanks to this thread I am actually considering it! I like the clay grey…

But it really is something completely different than shown…
 
Actually I think this looks better. You are helping me to make up my mind on what colour silicone case to get with my natural titanium.
 
This has been a problem with watch bands for years, very frustrating at times! Real colour looks quite nice here though 😅
 
Got my clay case shipped to me yesterday and concur with the OP. It's absolutely *nothing* like the photos/renders on Apple's site. If you like the actual color then great but it's just not close to what's shown and it's an instant return for me. What an absurd marketing error.

I prefer the actual colour vs the renders. I’ll be getting this colour I think.
 
I returned the Clay color for the Winter Blue and the Orange Sorbet silicone cases and the colors are pretty close to the packaging with perhaps a bit more saturation on the actual silicone (as expected). I tried to take a picture but it came out darker than what I see in person.

The Clay color was very different than I expected, and I {almost} kept it— I ordered it thinking I would go with a natural titanium 15PM but switched to white titanium at the last moment. It’s still a great looking case, but not one to purchase based solely on the Apple Store graphics.
 
I've also received one of these. It's quite a big surprise as you'd imagine Apple would get these basics right. I don't hate the real colour, but I perhaps wouldn't have ordered it. I imagine swapping it out will be a real pain so I may keep it for now, though I do have my eye on the green case...
