Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is set to debut its most colorful lineup ever, bringing a burst of new hues and finishes across the entire range. Months ahead of the anticipated September launch, multiple leaks—including an internal Apple document and images of device components—have revealed the full palette for each model, confirming a major design focus on personalization and fresh style.
iPhone 17 Lineup: All the Leaked Colors
Base iPhone 17: Cool, Fresh, and Vibrant
The standard iPhone 17 will reportedly be available in six color options:
- Black
- White
- Steel Gray (Pantone 18-4005-TPG)
- Green (Pantone 2282 U)
- Purple (Pantone 530 U)
- Light Blue (Pantone 658 U)
This year, Apple is not only adding a new Steel Gray, but also refreshing its green and purple shades, leaning into both classic and playful tones.
iPhone 17 Air: Lighter, Brighter Finishes
Targeting a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air will come in four lighter shades:
- Black (classic)
- White (brighter and cooler than iPhone 16)
- Light Blue (Pantone 657 U) – reminiscent of the M4 MacBook Air’s Sky Blue
- Light Gold (Pantone 11-0604 TPG Gardenia)
The Air line’s new colors are designed to reflect its thinner design and “lightness,” with Blue and Gold expected to be especially popular.
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Bold, Premium Choices
For those after a more premium or eye-catching look, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are tipped to feature:
- Black (like iPhone 16 Pro)
- White (like iPhone 16 Pro)
- Gray (reminiscent of Natural Titanium)
- Dark Blue (Pantone 19-4025 TPG Mood Indigo)
- Orange (Pantone 1501243 TCX Papaya) — described by insiders as “fluorescent” and a major first for Apple on a Pro model.
This new fluorescent orange is said to reflect a material shift—moving from titanium to aluminum—which allows for richer, more vivid colors.
Why This Matters
With each iPhone 17 variant receiving its own set of exclusive shades, Apple is signaling a continued push toward personalization and material innovation. Whether you prefer subtle metallic gray or want a phone that really stands out in bold orange or pastel blue, the iPhone 17 lineup will cater to nearly every style.
The official names for these colors remain under wraps, but these previews suggest that Apple is aiming to make this the most visually diverse iPhone launch in its history. Expect the official reveal and hands-on impressions this September.
