iPad Air iPad Air 4 Color Comparison

[capebud1]

This is more of a PSA for prospective buyers, and I haven’t really seen this comparison done in previous threads. If a thread exists, please feel free to point it out. I did this because it’s really hard to know how these colors show up in different light. That said, there’s no perfect lighting that can show how these would look in everyday environments. I tried to use both inside and outside to see if it makes a difference.

Overall, the colors seem to be lighter in complexion, with sky blue being more silver blue. I had a 10.5 rose gold iPad Pro as well, and the new rose gold Air is definitely lighter. The green seems to stand out as more mint emerald, which is my personal fav. Let me know what you think.

Think the colours look better irl (particularly in your first photo) than they do in the website images.

That blue looks weak in the lower images, at least to me. Slightly more blue-tinted Space Gray almost. Green is okay if you like that shade, Rose Gold looks pretty pinkish but IMO it's the best color.

Wow! You're a lifesaver! Thank you so much for the comparison!

Just makes me wish I had bought the green. I bought the blue and I find it is more silver/grey with a hint of blue.

Thanks for these pictures! It really does help a lot. That green looks really nice so I might end up with that one.

To be fair, those are like perfect lighting conditions. My green one looks like a light silver most of the time. Same with the blue one. The colors are quite subtle

Don’t disagree at all! The lighting is everything. In my shots, I did them in the mid afternoon hours, and tried to utilize natural light (indirect) for the indoor shots. Using artificial light (not pictured) changed the hue dramatically, mostly under camera lens, but also to the eye as well.

Picked up the green. It’s subtle like the blue. Looks great alongside my midnight green 11 Pro, I wish they named the Air 4 “Mint green” because that’s basically what it is. I see the same kind of combo you can rock if you have any of the darker blue iPhone 12‘s and pick up the blue Air 4.

I have both Rose Gold and Green. Green is very light but stunning never the less. Stands out with a black folio case. The Rose Gold is the most stand out but in some lighting it looks almost pumpkin in color and in some angles looks to be pink.

There is no such thing as a green "pro" ipad. they make them in silver and gray only

Midnight Green means he's referring to the iPhone 11 Pro.
