Could not decide on which colour to get so I may just get the most popular colour among everyone so that next time it is easier to resell.

Please vote and explain your choice.

If you want the easiest to sell, Space Grey is likely the one most people buy.

Personally, I find all the colors to be quite subtle anyway. I plan on getting either Blue or Purple this time around for a change.

Space grey is my take. Although I ultimately couldn’t care less what the back of the iPad looks like, since I tend to look at the display.

Space gray, demure and mindful. Done.

On a serious note, vast majority of people use their ipads with a full case and the colors this year is so muted that I suspect would be hard pressed to see any bits with colors.

I’m not upgrading, but if I were it would have to be purple again.

I’d never buy Space Grey on the basis that I’d sooner have Slate akin to the iPhone 5 or a brighter colour.

I saw Starlight in person when the Mini 6 was released and wasn’t taken by it - I assume it is unchanged in shade.

I would’ve considered blue but as it seems to have a green tint, it’s not for me.

Blue. it's fun having Air vibes in a mini.

they all look silvery in certain lighting and de saturated.

would say space grey but its insanely boring this year (IMO). mini 6 space grey was vastly superior

The correct answer is blue. 😉 But to be honest, ALL the colors this year are so muted as to be almost without color. They are all very subtle. So, i can see where the space grey really stands out the most this year. Having said that, still blue is the answer. 😂

On an earlier poll another site, blue and shadow grey were the two most popular choices. Since blue was the new color for 2024 like with the Air I elected to get that, its blueish silver, but a tad darker then the purple and starlight. I matched to a china blue targus case for the mini 6/7 at best buy. Targus.

I also observed in Apple store that the shadow grey is lighter this year which makes it more attractive, and the purple the new color darling of 2021 is even more pale like a violet silver. The starlight is about the same.

Space Grey

I like it.

And I certainly like it a lot more than the other choices lol.

A deep matte black would be ideal.

Funnily enough I got the blue thinking it would have some green undertone, but it’s actually just very blue and no green at all, the color on apple website does not look like the color in person at all

The purple is gorgeous! I have it on my M2 Air. I had cold feet after ordering that colour on a whim (was leaning more towards starlight), but I'm so glad I went with it. It's subtle and the mostly looks gray unless under direct lighting, but it goes beautifully with it's purple case.

Purple is the only correct choice. It's one of the reasons I bought an iPhone 11 when they were first released.
