Has anyone changed their opinion after seeing these in person?

I had a chance to see someone's Ultramarine in person and it definitely didn't look like the one in the first post (or other photos/videos where it looks like a darker blue). It actually looks more like the one on Apple's site, though slightly less purplish. I thought the back looked light baby blue.

If you're undecided on which color to get, do check them out first!

I like the teal better in person, but it’s just more my taste. Honestly as much as I love all the colors, I’d probably just poop out and get white if I were getting one. I can never commit.

Too late, but somebody replied to this thread so it was resurrected.

I did! I went to the Apple Store last month to buy the 16 Plus. I was unsure about the colour, but since my first iPhone I’ve been buying them in black. I kind of thought I’d be up for a change.

So I went with the idea of buying it in Ultramarine, from Apple’s photos and other photos I expected a fairly deep blue. Colour me surprised when I arrived… the device was practically purple in-person. So I scratched that idea and I bought it in… black.

I was disappointed in the colours. I would’ve bought a deeper blue. So much so, that a few days later I decided to buy the 11th-gen iPad that had just been released. I bought the beautiful blue version. That kind of blue was the one I was hoping for.
 
Both blue and teal are lovely. I bought the blue 16 plus as I found it mesmerising, so beautiful with the glass opaque back, and reminded me of the sea. Also the contrast with the darker blue glass around the cameras is a lovely detail.
