I can't see getting actual Tiffany blue - both Tiffany and Hermes might have a problem if Apple did that - but something in that duck egg range would be different to the 4,000 blues we already have I guess. I'd be keen on that also, but I'd still rather something new that isn't blue.

Yeah I didn’t mean an actual partnership with Tiffany. Using the name Tiffany blue is just a colloquial term for that color.

I would love a blue that isn't just a standard blue. Something different, but still in the blue rage. I would also like a brighter color. Not neon, but something less dull and muted.
Have you looked at the original (1st & 2nd gen) "Blue". It's pretty bright, not quite neon.

Blue has been overdone. I'm willing to be surprised by a Robin's Egg Blue (Tiffany Blue without all the licensing), or some other lightish variant with some green overtones, but... not another medium-dark blue. Gimme good solid vibrant purples and greens!

Do you have the original blue from 2015? If not you should check that out. They are available on eBay (among other places I imagine) and don't seem to be super-expensive given how long ago they were discontinued. There are two versions, the 1st gen I think might be close to what you want.

Yeah, I agree with the notion that Apple has done far too many blue options.. and this is coming from a guy who generally loves that colour, too! It's clear that they need more greens. Considering they only release ~3 options in each band format each season, I'd say it's about time they show some love to other spots on the spectrum. Green is a good example of a clear void. Additionally, it amazes me that Nike hasn't done a red/black option. I see so many third party versions (online and in-person). Pink Blast came awfully close!

I guess I'm a little picky on a blue. I don't want a regular blue, I would love a robin's egg blue though! And I second wanting more green options, as well as a red and black.

I always forget to look on eBay. I'll definitely do that. Thanks!

An electric blue color is what I’m hoping for. I have the Gen 1 blue and the Blue Orbit. A shade in between those would be great. Something close to this.

That’s almost exactly the primary tone of Gamma, I think. Check your swatch next to gamma here.
I have the Blue Orbit/Gamma. It’s a tad bit darker/deeper blue in real life. I’m just being picky, but would like a regular sports band in that color. There are a lot of blue sports bands out there, nothing really close to that shade though.

I agree, it would be a nice option — just saying that your swatch is almost identical to gamma’s main blue (IMO) based on that “real life” picture I put alongside as-is. That’s not a bad thing.

I think what I am getting at (and others perhaps?) is that it would be unfortunate if Apple yet again releases only 3 sport bands for the spring, and (yet again) 1 of them is blue.

I understand. Most colors they release have been pastel or really dark. Think it’s time for something different. Some bright colors like the original bands on the initial release. That’s just the shade of blue I’d like to see if they happen to release yet another blue.

Jesus. Can we get a f***ing purple!

I ordered the Neon Lime sport loop. Honestly the only one I was even half interested in.
I seriously can’t tell if the vitamin C inner color is purple or not. Or does the orange accent kind of ruin it? But yeah doesn’t excuse no purple fluoro

I highly doubt it will be called series x until the actual 10th generation. Considering the new Xbox is called series x there’s gotta be some copyright/lawsuit in there somewhere.
