It very well may be. Spicy Orange was more orange than Apricot, but this is what I don’t like that Apple has done in making some colors so close to past ones. Taken under inside hallway light...
Got a tip for us?

... and this 38mm boxless “space orange” (sic) has been unsold on uk ebay for a while now! It’s all so confusing!

Buahahaha what the heck is space orange lmfao!!!
Thanks! Based one your photo mine is indeed a spicy orange. Case closed
And Yes, I agree that some colours are very similar.. don't like that either.
Well just in case it isn't Spicy Orange.... and so you can rest at night....I can give you $4 US for it... Just trying to helpThanks! Based one your photo mine is indeed a spicy orange. Case closed

It’s kind of sad and it confirms what I’ve always thought but the latest Apple accessory colours mostly seem to actually be clones of past colours, or just way way way too similar. The oranges eg are similar enough. But also, blue cobalt could pass as ocean blue. Dark olive could almost pass as cocoa. And for the Classic Buckles, Sea Blue, Sapphire and Electric Blue are barely that different at all. From what I saw at the store, Denim Blue is quite close to Azure from last spring yawn. And the new Lemonade sport band yeah how many shades of yellow sport bands have we had now?
But to be fair, I’d say they are running out of original colours at this point, so as we go along in the years, as sad as it sounds, the offerings will just get less and less exciting. I’d say it was at its peak late 2016-early 2017.
When the Summer colours come out next month at WWDC, looking forward to seeing what’ll be cloned this time
BlueJay Classic Buckle perhaps, a CB that shade hasn’t been seen in a while
Well ... not to confuse anyone, but I think your bands are in the wrong boxes. Spicy Orange and Apricot seem to be exchanged. IRL Spicy Orange is less „red“ than Apricot and is the „regular“ Sport Band closest to the Hermes (real orange) one ...

They aren’t. I’m as OCD as possible with them. The lighting is just bad. The first Orange that came out back in fall 2015 was so close to the first gen (PRODUCT)RED that I bought and then returned it only to get it again end of last year finally. Apricot itself is more pink in the right light. Here is the same photo but using iOS’s auto-adjustment for the color...Orange, Spicy Orange, Apricot, Hermès.
[doublepost=1525700742][/doublepost]Here is an alternate view in slightly different lighting with a little natural light filtering in, unedited, and before I re-org’d them...these are also the old labels but in the same order. In the first pic, Orange, Spicy Orange, Apricot, and in the second pic, the row began with Hermès...
Thanks Again Peter! My band confirmed spicy orange.

My wish list: “KELLY GREEN.” I’ve been dying for this since 2015. <sigh>. Maybe a Maroon or Burgundy or “Merlot.” <sigh again>
i wouldnt mind them coming out with a neon line up to be honest!

Zany names continue over on eBay. Here is a “Solomon Orange” and as if that colour wasn’t niche enough, the seller offers only the l/m and m/s straps and NOT the all important clasp, pin section!

Well here is a Royal Blue though it is going for an insane amount. I might as well sell mine if this is the price they are going for.

Good grief...and that’s just bc it’s not available anymore. Wonder if anyone from on here is bidding — good luck if you are.
In most cases/for each release, it seems when they are gone, they are gone...which is also why I paid $180 on eBay for a Nike Sport in Blue Orbit last summer.

He also is selling a Yellow Sport and a FIRST-gen (PRODUCT)RED Sport as well. Yellow is already up to $111. -_-

That price for the yellow seems really high.
Maybe the retail packaging makes a difference? Because looking at the sold items for Royal Blue, I see that some sold for under $50 without the retail packaging
I was in on that! But, I won't pay that much! I honestly can't believe anyone would go that high! I also bid on the yellow. Over $100. Too much for me!
I'm so disappointed!
I paid $55 for the original blue on ebay a few weeks ago and it was brand new, sealed.
