Meh, personal preference. I wouldn't feel the need to get one if I have the other in this case, especially with just how many pinky-orange bands there are out there. Maybe if I got a really good deal on one.

Which „pinky-orange“ bands are you talking about? I mean, you could argue that Flamingo and Peach are kinda similar to each other (which I don‘t really agree with), but beyond that I don‘t see any very similar bands at all.

Peach, Pink, Apricot, Clementine, Nectarine, Pink Citrus, Flamingo, and mayyybe Grapefruit all scratch that itch for me.

I feel these are the ones that are very similar - Pink, Nectarine, Apricot, Clementine, Pink Citrus

I'm with franco on this - the "citrus bands" are really close to each other ... but not so close to Flamingo or Peach. But I get the "itch" thing, too - if a certain colour area doesn't do much for you, "close enough" is, well, close enough. :) This is why I have "only" 3 yellows.

in this pick both Flamingo and peach look SO similar

Well then you have your decision (and money saved), right?
 
Don’t you guys feel like some sport bands are softer (or stickier) than others? Do you think is because of humidity ?
This reminds me of the the lightening cable (and wired headphones) used to get over time, supper stickie, as if the silicone was melting. Do you have the same issue with sport bands?

There are some differences due to manufacturing/etc. I think it was discussed at some point, but earlier bands tend to be very soft and somewhat more malleable/flexible. There also was a point in the early/mid pandemic (plum era) where some bands were manufactured and turn almost HARD. They quickly switched from whatever they had changed back to the more traditional style of band mixture.

Additionally, some bands just shine easier than others. I love UV but it is a well known shine monster. Other bands seem to take almost no sweat/oil and remain pristine even after many wears.

Now if Apple had 20 true pinks? I'd need them all!
