New details have surfaced about a leaked color option for the upcoming Pixel Buds Pro 2. A recent Amazon listing revealed the buds in a striking dark green shade. This new color is expected to arrive in the coming weeks, possibly debuting together with the Pixel 11 lineup.
A familiar pattern
Google has a history of introducing new earbud colors to align with new phone launches. For example, this year, updated colors for the Pixel Buds 2a were released alongside the Pixel 10a. Based on this trend, it's likely that the new dark green variant for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 is being positioned to match the Pixel 11 phone release. Additionally, a new Pixel Buds variant has become tradition for every new Pixel phone launch, including the Pixel Buds 2a in 'Berry' alongside the Pixel 10a and the Pixel Buds 2 Pro in 'Moonstone' with the Pixel 10 last year.
What the leaks show
The leaked listing shows the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in a darker green than what has been shared in recent Pixel 11 leaks. Although Amazon quickly took down the listing, 9to5Google managed to capture and share a screenshot. Furthermore, the new color is also visible on the Play Store rewards page, hinting that Google may be actively promoting this design. The same dark green color has been quietly appearing on a Play Store rewards page 'for a few weeks,' as noted by one of our readers shortly after this article went live.
At the moment, the Google Store still lists the current options for the Buds Pro 2, which include Moonstone, Porcelain, Peony, and Hazel. However, it's clear the new color is on the way, and store listings will likely update soon to reflect the change.
What to expect next
Official invites for the Pixel 11 reveal were sent out in July 2026, and the event is set for August 12. Given the timing of the leak and the company's usual strategy, it's reasonable to believe the new earbuds color will be unveiled on that day. While the possibility of more color options remains uncertain, this one reveal has already raised excitement about the final product lineup. Additionally, there are three different shades in the works for the Pixel 11 series, possibly branded as 'Moss' and 'Pine.'
