I can hardly see any difference here between Abyss and Storm Blue tbh, but don’t know in real life.
They’re dangerously close. Weirdly Storm’s lower saturation translates to more pop because it ends up making the BSL more silvery/shiny?
Honestly they look even closer irl than in this pic. Also the clouds came out in the middle of all this today and flattened the comparisons a bit.
Mulberry is the winner of the bunch IMHO. Its the most SLIGHTEST of darker than Plum, which was already amazing. Could it be shine? MAYBE.

Alright, the most boring sport band release - Storm Blue. It is almost exactly the same as abyss - infact it might as well be. I can barely tell them apart. Abyss might be like, the smallest amount of darker - but it could be wear/shine.

I almost wonder if sometimes the employees at the factory fudge the FKM mix and end up with a whole batch of off-colors, then Apple's softgoods team goes "eh, good enough" and releases it as a new color.
Storm Blue is a tad bit lighter and has less tinge of green. I had the Abyss Blue silicone case for my 13 Pro and it was darker than the Storm Blue for the 14 and 15 Pro
I have tried the Game Royal/Orange Nike Sport Loop with my blue aluminum series 6 and was impressed with the result. Indeed Blue Flame gave me a small disappointment (not perfect match). I am hesitating with a SS series 9 but I think I’ll skip update for another year…

Is the midnight sport loop dark blue or black? Wondering if it would coordinate well with a blue titanium iPhone.
Yeah, or with whichever other blue Sport Band may be the closest in colour?
If you don’t mind me asking, how do I get my watch face to look like that? I can’t seem to find that face in the gallery
This is why I screenshot everything for here 😔…also because ProRAW format
The closest band to Winter blue is SLATE. It is slightly darker.
Sky, Winter Blue, SLATE, Blue Fog.
Here is me holding both in a window natural light, overcast day in the PNW.
Winter Blue left, Slate right.
Yep, its annoying and some color/size compromise oh well

That looks lovely, thanks! Like Slate with the grey taken out.
