I really like the saturated orange bubble wallpaper that comes standard out-of-the-box on every iphone 11 pro, and would like to get it back on my phone. I was surprised to see that it isn't available in the wallpaper gallery. The closest one available there is red in dark mode, and a less saturated shade of orange in light mode. I'd like the original back. Is there a way to get it?
 
It's the top left one in the wallpaper gallery on mine. How would it be on there to start with if it wasn't in the set of available wallpapers?
 
I guess I should have come back to update my thread; I was able to find it here: https://ioshacker.com/wallpapers/stock-wallpapers-iphone-x-wallpaper-series-ep-3

It is the very first entry under ios 13 wallpaper.

To alFR, the very first entry in the gallery isn't it. If you have the phone set to dark mode as I do, that wallpaper will come up as a dark red. Even if you have the phone set to light mode, it is similar to the original one but not as saturated.

As to how it was there in the first place if it isn't in the set of available wallpapers, I don't know. Just happy to have it back, even if I did have to download it from a third-party site!

I just took screenshots of both the stock wallpaper (which I've never changed on my phone) and the one in the gallery I mentioned above and compared them side by side by eye on my phone and Mac and objectively using the macOS digital colour meter. They are exactly the same to the naked eye and have exactly the same colour values in both at multiple points based on the colour meter. I conclude that they are, in fact, the same image.
