I have been getting asked constantly which colour is the best for the Huawei P30 Pro and P30, So I thought I would start this thread to help everyone and since I have had hands on with all of the colours I can advice everyone accordingly. Here is a link to my video showing them in the flesh https://youtu.be/S5UvQGCE4Bg
But please please do read this post as it should answer any questions you may have. Feel free to ask me anything and to let me know which is your favourite colour.
There are 5 colours available, Pearl White, Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Aurora and Black. Note that the Pearl white version is not available in the UK and Only the Sunrise Amber comes with 512gb storage.
Lets start off with the Amber Sunrise, this is my favourite colour personally as it is a different shade I haven’t seen on any other handset, The glass back is a rich Orange colour which reminds me of candy metallic cars you see in the states. The Metal frame is in a very reflective almost orange chrome finish which looks beautiful and something I haven’t seen before personally.
Next we have the Aurora blue, this shade is a gradient finish which starts off with a greenish tint above and then turns to a more darker blue towards the bottom of the phone. It has a almost wave like effect similar to the Aurora lights seen in certain parts of the world. The metal frame is a shiny light blue almost green colour way which suits the back perfectly.
Time for the traditional black which looks like liquid, it almost looks like chrome at certain angles, the finish is extremely glossy and reflective and seems to be pouring off the sides of the P30 Pro. The metal frame is similar to space grey in colour and is finished in matte for anyone who Doesn’t like the reflective look of the other coloured frames. Stunning in my opinion.
The last colour I had a chance to get hands on with is Breathing Crystal. This is again glossy and reflective and the colour gradient shifts from a pearlescent white at the top to a more blueish tinge at the bottom and looks really clean and fresh. The metal frame on this one is a shiny silver colour which is perfected suited to the back. Unfortunately, The Pearl White variant was not available to me when Filming this video but I have been told it is virtually white in colour with pink hues.
So there you have it, the choice is now yours, which colour version do you like the best? Let me know in the comments below
Very good colours on display and better (White) than s10+
I'm getting black... easy to put in a case without thinking twice about going case-less or clear case... I go the Huawei Silicon Case to match....

Three UK tell me the amber sunrise is delayed with no delivery dates... So I can't upgrade to the 512mb until after the Sonos deal is over! Terrible.... The P20Pro free headphone deal was a nightmare last time, and now they **** this one up!

Currys and CPW have also delayed the Amber Sunrise.
My choice was aurora. The greenish frame won me. I really liked the breathing crystal variant but that frame made me fall for the aurora one. I can only expect the amber sunrise to be extremely nice

I haven't seen a Tab in the flesh yet but I'm interested to know your views on the Tab colours, specifically the black and white models. Do either of them have drawbacks with regards to being easily marked, showing fingers prints, much or other?
Theaters no black model
Only colors are metallic grey and white
I personal got the white one and it looks fine

Maybe the black is just for the Euro versions?

White one has a clean surface on the back, the black (grey, dark, whatever) is structured. I prefer the structured back. It provides a little more grip and in my opinion it has a little higher quality feel to it than the white backcover. Fingerprints show much less on the grey model as it has no glossy finish.
But like it was said in the other "black or white" thread: If you spend much time looking at the color of your Galaxy Tab, you are using it wrong.
Oooops ... there another thread ....

Just bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 from pc world in UK this morning & can confirm that it definately has a BLACK back.
Even better it is in a black rubberized soft touch material so holding it is a real pleasure. While I was there they had a white version on display which I was playing with & it felt a bit too plasticky & very slippery.
Im buying a L920. I've always been set on the red model, but having watched several video reviews im now in doubt.
- Smudgeprints are extremely noticeable on red
- It has a really big "wow effect", its very noticeable with such a massive, bright red glossy back
- Its not gonna match live tiles if I change the colors
Because of this, im leaning towards White, but I have some questions about it.
- Does it get dirty easier? (ie. dirt gather in scratches)
- I read white phones tend to turn yellow if exposed to certain things such as cigarette smoke. Is this true?
- Is there overall something I should be aware of when getting a white phone?
Thanks in advance.

I had the White for a week then swapped out to a Red one. I didn't notice anything unusual like smudge prints etc, that stood out on the white. But, I'm an office worker so I'm not generally exposed to much dirt or grime.
Of the 2 colors, I'm not sure which I really prefer. The Red stands out, but so does the White. There are certain theme colors that do not go well with either color...so it boils down to your personal preference.
Though liking both the White and Red, I have not regretted switching to the Red

Im gonna be using full body protection on the phone, including on metal+lens on the back from the Martin Fields protector. Im not exposed to dirt either (being home going till march...), but its still something I'd like to know, as I've never had a white phone.
Imo red stands out more than white. White is a fairly common color among phones (one reason I dont prefer the color), however the bright red is not. Im just imagening holding it to my ear and all ppl see is the bright back, heh. White just seems so...smooth, despite being common.
Bump for more interest.
Well I can't say anything about White vs. Red but I had a Cyan for two weeks and then I got RED .... I personally liking RED a lot more.

I would get the Red colour. My mum got a White 920 and I really don't like it. I also seen the Yellow version which I thought I would hate, but it actually looked pretty cool in person.
I have a black one which I would say is the best color to choose, either that or the matte grey model.
Between red and white, go red IMO.
I got the yellow one, and I love it - though most people don't (who cares - I love it).
Before that, I had the white Galaxy S2. Looks pretty fine after about a year of usage, besides the scratches it got from the one and only time I dropped it.
I wouldn't hesitate to go for white in means of dirt stains or so. As long as you're not a smoker it should keep it's color for some time.
I am coming from a white HTC One X and I decided to go with a red 920.
When the Lumia 900 came out, I fell in love with the white one. When the HTC One X came out, to me it was like a slightly more rounded "Android" version of the Lumia so I had to have the white one. I really like the color and the contrast of white and black. The only issue I had with the color I had was due to the invisishield protection I had on it. My jeans would stain the shield blue-ish so the phone was never a true white. I read that a naked One X will do the same thing, but that you can clean it off with alcohol. However, if you have a naked Lumia, I doubt that will happen because of the glossy finish.
The reason why I ended up with a red 920 is not because of that, however. I went to the store to check all the colors out and red really stood out to me more so than the other options.
So if you really like the red, get the red but if you really like the white, get the white. But be aware that invisishield-type protection on that phone might be really noticeable once it gets dirty because of the white. I believe the naked phone will actually look cleaner.
I have a white and a black. White stays white - no smudging. However, I will say that the colored ones have more 'grip' that the black - which is very slick.
To my first test drive with a red one then ended up getting a white one for the wife & I. Just came down to personal preference, the one thing I new was I didn't want another black phone
Hi guys, I really like the z2 in purple. But does anyone think this colour is aimed more for females?.
32 male.
Purple is statistically the most popular colour within males. Get the purple one.
Purple one looks more sparkly on the back due to its metalic finish
I like my Black Z2 im a metalic black, suits and ties kinda guy who drives a forein car to a forein pub to drink a forein beer but thats just taste, and that last 2 lines are lies
Purple= most attention
Black= meh
White= attention
Metalic sparkle visibility
Purple= metalic sparkle easier to see
Black = only in daylight
White = can be seen from time to time but looks just awesome in white

Not really, i saw a guy buy a purple one once and i just stared at him. not because its a feminine colour but because its an unusual one. Some cultures might not agree in which case then you're making a statement. Sticking out.
More flash, attracts attention, can you carry it off. how do you look with it taking a call.
attracting attention is all well and good so long as you got the latest & greatest. How long you want to hold onto the unit. Do you still want that attention after two years assuming you hold on to the device that long or longer.
White is in the same boat but to a less extent as its more common than purple. White hides fingerprints better.
Black is the most discrete and fingerprint magnet.
In the end a case will hide whatever colour but if you are thinking of a unique colour chances are you don't want a case to begin with.
Thanks for your feedback guys. All I can say if I get the purple one I will receive banter from my mates.
See, it all depends if you insist on carrying it naked. Feels good but then its the same all the time. You could add something like this which only works with black & purple.
If not, then black with any colour case of your choosing means more options. The more important thing is the bezel colour and fortunately sony has always gone with black bezels, these are the easiest to mix with case colour. Think lumias. White bezels restrict that choice somewhat.
before you decide check out all types of cases as this might influence which colour you go for.
Beware of staining. Purple probably wouldn't be too bad but I bought a white one originally and returned it within 2 days because it was stained from being in my pocket. I believe purple may slightly discolor also but not as bad.

If you want purple, buy purple, don't choose something else because your mates are immature!
I bought purple and love it, it's not the shocking colour in the press shots, it's actually more subtle.
Went for white in the end guys! Lol. Cheers
I've got a purple one, I've had one person tease me for the color be feminine. The response was "Are you trying to pick me up?", "No.", " Then why do you care?"

I think white looks the best with this design (especially from the front angles, striking) but the back is a little too noticeable.
Put it this way there are times and places where i want that attention and others where i do not.
Purple is striking because of the colour (unusual) but does not compliment the design as well as white.
I have purple, and a friend of mine has black. I'm more than happy with my choice, after comparing the two
I'm having a hard time deciding between the Clearly White and Just Black for the Pixel 3.
Let me know what you choice is.
Thank!
I went with clearly white and I love the color (that mint power button is awesome), but the case selection has been rough. There are plenty of black and clear options. But no white cases so far... Clear works but I worry about it yellowing and/or getting scratched up over time.
See this thread

Hey,
I went with Clearly White and man that's an amazing one.
Also, the scratches are not even visible on this color, did not clean my phone once yet.
I was trying to get a review from people about Pixels but then I decided to give mine.
Let's see if Pixel 3 is worth the price.
Let me know !!!

I choose the clearly white pixel 3 and it's amazing... it's my first white phone..all my precedent phone was black.
both looks great, but I guess clearly white is the smart choice if you want the scratches on the back to be almost invisible.
me too with clearly white, not received yet
Received P6 yesterday and disappointed to find the Seafoam looks nothing like I expected, The back is slightly off white and no where close to seafoam shown in google advertisements. Thanks
I find it has a slightly different hue in different light. Sometimes the main section on the back looks almost white. Other times it's exactly like the promo material, a soft minty green.
you are holding it wrong
sorry, couldn't resist. but I am happy with mine and sometimes it looks like in the promotional picture
I asked a few people what color they were seeing just to make sure I wasn't color blind. Its definitely white and yellow. Not the Green/Blue that the promotional articles make it look.
I'm not sure where or how people saw the promo material, but on my phone and on my PC it always looked sky blue + light neon green/yellow. To me, my P6 looks exacty like the box it came in, which looks just like what I saw online.
As OP mentioned, Pixel 6 Seafoam back-glass has a tendency to look white, but it very much tends to depend on the color temperature of the lighting. Maybe it's why Google calls it only "Sorta Seafoam"? Under warm lighting mine does match the box & most Google online renderings/photos. Probably won't matter if I put an opaque case on it anyway!
Off-white
