Colour is a very personal thing. If the blue Apple chose isn’t to your liking, then get another colour?

I personally like the teal shade of blue they’ve chosen and I bet it’ll look different in person and under different lighting conditions.

yes, we would all get another color but the pro only had a real “new color. The gold is a diff gold but still in the gold family...

Apple needs to make more colors imo in their pro line up.
 
12 got the "real" blue, TBH. The Pro looks a bit more teal in color, which does look like the pacific ocean.

I could not go forward with the blue, so I stuck to the safe and beautiful black (well, Graphite in this case)

I've seen two different images, one more navy blue and one more teal. I think they both look amazing.

I like it. It's Pacific Blue after all, which implies an ocean like color, which is somewhere between blue and green.

Thats exactly what it is, which is a disappointment to me, I would have preferred a Dark blue or Navy colour so im going with the Gold.

The navy would be the regular 12 and the teal would be the 12 pro.... makes me sad I would have preferred the 12 colour on the pro.

Whatever we get I just hope it’s far less slippery than my iPhone 8. Can’t wait for Pacific Blue 12 Pro next week!!! I almost want to call in sick that day...
 
I wish Apple kept that green color for the 12 Pro as a choice. I'd buy the Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max and the Green in 12 Pro. I love both colors. Blue is my favorite color. Green is my 2nd. Oh well....
Agreed, I wish they would have kept the green available as well. Was planning to order that color, but since it‘s not available went with the pacific blue since it looks blue-green.

I totally agree, and I made an illustrstion to show this:

The color in the middle is what we should be getting. It would be coherent with the elegant and luxury color of the 11 pro.

Instead we get something in between blue and green, shown on the left, and it saddens me.

The 12 pro pacific blue is a color that doesnt know what it wants to be, its a bad design choice and quite unlike Apple. It feels like they rushed it and produced a color that doesnt...punch.. its ambiguous.
It is called Pacific Blue. Maybe from the Algae and Seaweeds of the Pacific Ocean did Apple be inspired by choosing that color to the far left. I'm all for it. But as someone commented, I do see a tinge of teal. I love the color regardless.
 
I tend to agree with those who want a “real” blue for the 12 Pro. I too was expecting something a bit darker and less “green.” Would’ve loved to hear the discussion around color selection.

When midnight green came out last year I almost got it just for the color but having an X, it wasn't enough improvement to get the 11 so I ws hoping they would make the 12 pro in mid night green but they didn't. I was very disappointed. I was thinking about the pacific blue but do to not having actual photos or videos showing what the colors look like in real life, I played it safe and got graphite.

Bright bold colours - mainstream line (think iPod nanos, iPad Air, iPhones)
Muted metallic colours - premium line (iPhone pro, MacBook Pros, iPad Pro)

This is the formula Apple typically follows in selecting colours.
 
These are from the keynote. They look like different blues. I want to see it from reviewers hopefully tomorrow.

Edit: better quality photos

A premium color that changes shades depending on lighting - also its called Pacific Blue like the ocean, there's shades of green. If you don't like it don't get it... but premium colors in cars (metallic/pearl paint) is the same deal, they change shades depending on lighting. The regular 12 blue is plain boring.

the middle blue it too purple imo
 
The iPhone 12 (non-pro) blue reminds me of a toy with it’s blue color. The Pacific Blue looks much better to me and doesn’t have any greenness.
