They are all great colors, but I think a deeper green would have been nice. I love the Blush.
I went with indigo. I personally would have preferred dark grey like my iPad Air.
I have the powder blue iPhone 17 and it's just too light. I went with it so that I didn't have to wait 3-4 weeks for any other color. I always use either a Pelican or Otterbox case for all of my phones so color isn't that big of a deal.

Frankly I didn't care for the available colors so went with the classic silver with white keyboard.

This! I forgot to mention that was another reason I went for Silver myself-- I really like the white shaded keyboard. It reminds me a lot of the Poly 2006 MacBooks. Really nice looking with the classic color.

This Alpine Green on the 13 Pro is everything! I actually JUST ordered a "new/sealed/new old stock" Pro Max in this color way (for way too much money of course) because I am such a fan. Plus, that wallpaper looks way too good with it. One of their best for sure!
Yes, actually for me a Forest Green Neo would've been amazing.

Ugh, seriously. That would have looked so awesome. I had a Microsoft Surface in "Forest" before selling it and I sure do miss that color on a "computer"/larger scale.
I agree that I wish there was one more color-- a green, or something. Nothing hit the nail on the head for me RIGHT AWAY sadly, which is why I'm on the Silver train. I hope I don't regret being so 'basic', but I figured I'd rather stick to what I know works since I didn't get excited for any of the others.

Silver for hiding scratches and smudges.

Surprised to see blush in last place, when it's seemingly the best seller according to the slipping pre-order delivery dates.
But Apple easily could have made far less blush and citrus compared to silver and indigo, so...

Same here - I actually quite like the Indigo color, but I'm not a fan of the faded Indigo on the keyboard, so I went for plain silver. Plus I'm likely going to end up covering the thing in stickers eventually anyway.
Colors leave a lot to be desired. These are what they call adaptive colors which means it’s not the norm and something you have to get used to. As opposed to familiar colors
I’m guessing the MacRumors audience skews male while the Blush likely has more appeal among women.

Very nice of you to gift a Citrus Neo!
I got a Citrus and Indigo and waiting to see them in person and find out what my wife wants.
I think we are going to fight over the Citrus !😅
