Five of the new bands: https://imgur.com/a/Ti4Wq21

Canary (vs Yellow) - I think this is just a slightly darker Pollen but I haven't seen a Pollen in a while, definitely lighter/more powdery than the original Yellow

Canary Loop (vs Sunset/Orange/Hermes/Yellow) - Very neon orange, might just be Papaya with yellow base

Cornflower (vs 2nd gen Blue, Ocean) - I'm guessing this is pretty close to Lilac, but more vibrant blue than I remember Lilac being

Dragonfuit band/loop (vs 2nd gen Red, Red loop) - Both fairly pink in person but also brilliantly rich color, definitely the only "new" color of the bunch

Thanks for these! FWIW, to me in these pictures Canary looks closer to Lemonade than to Pollen and Cornflower looks closer to Denim than to Lilac, but we‘ll only really know if/when someone can compare all of these side by side.

But damn, that Dragon Fruit Loop looks just as sweet as the Sport Band version.

Canary may very well be similar to Lemonade, not sure I've ever seen that one in person. It's definitely closer to Yellow than anything I've seen. Really wish they would make a Sunflower yellow sport band.

And Denim I'm pretty sure is darker than Lilac/Cornflower. Cornflower may sit between Azure and Lilac but I haven't had any of those for a while, so I'm not completely helpful in that regard. Cornflower is my personal favorite of all the lighter blue bands (that aren't the 2nd Gen Blue) but I like more vibrant colors. Really wish I could find a Marine Green to replace the Turquoise in my drawer.

EDIT: It would be nice to see the Rose Red next to Dragonfruit if anyone is lucky enough to have that one.

Cornflower is close to Azure IMO.

Hopefully I'm OK to post this (if not - sorry!), but I ordered the iPad Air Smart Cover in Cornflower and I'm comparing it to the Azure watch band.

I know it's not the actual Cornflower band, but this might give someone a good idea of what the band looks like in case they want to order it.

Excellent - I missed out on Azure back in the day and now there’s a pretty similar alternative

I did some digging on the internet and the original pink band i posted isn't hibiscus. The real hibiscus is more of a reddish pink color where as the other band is a brighter pink.

So the pink on the LEFT is what people believe to be hibiscus and the RIGHT is product red. This was taken by a user at the store much like my picture was.

When they got home with their hibscus loop it appeared to be a different color as represented in this picture. The hibiscus here is on the Far left.

I bought the band recently from the apple store and can confirm the hibiscus they sell vs the one that was being used for display are different colors. which is odd to me which is why i wanted to ask if anything on this forum actually has the bright pink loop that is in the first picture.

I hear you wrt Sunflower Sport – that would probably be the only yellow Sport Band I would still buy; all other bright yellows are just too similar to – but worse than – the Pollen that I already have.

You're right that Cornflower is certainly brighter than Denim, but it has a similar "dull" blue colour, I think. Lightness-wise, it is, as you say, probably somewhere between Lilac and Azure.

Your picture wish I can fulfill later today, but Dragon Fruit is really very different from Rose Red.

Pollen is still the nicest imo. Just has that really creamy custard shade of yellow that’s so nice and toned down. Glad I got mine when I did

I agree! Pollen is just subtle.

Also, to me Canary looks like a darker Lemonade, not a variant of Pollen. Pollen is still unique IMO.

I have a Dragon Fruit sport band coming today. Excited! Normally I wouldn’t buy a color before seeing it first in the store, but this one grabbed me. Hoping I’m as happy with it in real life as I was with the picture!

Same here... I’m a guy and plan to rock this band until apple gets it together and releases a bright purple. Ultra violet wasn’t purple enough for me it was too blue.
