I am sure it would grow on me but not something I am buying sight unseen and keeping for a year. I wish they put these out in stores for display right after the launch for people to see before preorders a few days later. It would save a lot of second guessing.
Got a tip for us?

I think White looks excellent this year. It was gaudy before IMO with the polished sides (and scratched way too easy)but for some reason really dig the brushed look with it. I got the same config as you preloaded as one of mine I will purchase initially.
I’m not planning on updating this year but if we were my husband would get black. I’d get white. And my son blue ❤️ nice colors!
It really does look great this year. If the natural titanium would've been darker (but not black) I'm 90% sure that would've been my choice, but since it's like a champagne tint, I'll pass.
I was thinking Blue too but I got it on the 12 Pro and ended up returning it. A little too unsubtle for me. I can't tell if this Blue is darker.
On the subject of colors (and I'm sure this belongs in a different thread but here goes anyway), the new FineWoven case colors are hideous. Muddled, blah and tacky. It's like Apple is saying "Eco-friendly means you can't have fun and cool."
One more wrinkle on the champagne tint in Natural Titanium: Take a look at the Apple Watch Ultra 2 photos on the website and in videos. It seems to have that tint, too though my Ultra (same titanium color as Ultra 2) is silver. So I still wonder if this is something that just shows up in photos and won't IRL.
Also, I tweeted at Chance Miller of 9to5Mac about the champagne tint as he was there in person: "It’s there but i found it pretty subtle. it’s quite similar to the Apple Watch Ultra imo"
How do we get @Dan Barbera from MacRumors to tell us from his hands-on if there's a gold hue to Natural Titanium before preorders begin? I'm all over the place between Natural, Blue, and now White.
I had an Apple Watch Ultra and if that's the color, I'm sold. I never thought it had a gold hue to it, might be a little on the warm side but would not consider it champagne-ish or gold-ish. I can't tell if it's just the wallpaper on the Natural that is throwing us off. The video in this post with the Natural does not appear to have any gold hue to it. It reminds me of the Titanium PowerBook.
Maybe @Dan Barbera will come through and help help settle this.

The fact that Natural has nearly 50% of the poll has me nervous for preorder day. 
Marques Brownlee says Natural reminds him of Starlight @ 8:02. Not what I wanted to hear, ughh.
When I got my Apple Watch ultra last year, I was upset with the only color choice. After owning it for a year, I’ve grown to love it (quite quickly, actually). I’m getting the natural titanium 15 pro, hoping it’s the same color.
Same
Normally I never have an issue picking a color .. why couldnt they just have had that grey that was in all the rendered pics...it was perfect.

Don’t be. You’ll get your pre order in. These forums don’t even account to 1% of iPhone users. You’ll be fine.
I made a list of each iPhone I've had, thinking it would help me decide. I'm confused AF for the first time. I can't see Apple totally abandoning all the people who go gold, it's like a staple color choice in the lineup. Starlight comparisons and the wallpaper matched to the model (last few years) lead me to believe Natural is the new gold-ish option. I think, lol.

That's what I want to know! From the pics, no, because I have the U1, which is more of a silvery-greyish color. I wonder if the U2 is the same natural titanium finish as the phone.
I’m still sold on natural titanium. That’s what I’m getting. I’m over all the darker colors throughout the years.
When I first saw the pictures of the natural I thought it would be more gray but as I see it more in photos and videos I feel it has more of a champagne tone. So my guess is that the natural is the closest to a champagne or gold leaning iPhone that’s in this years lineup. It’s what pushed me away from the color, because I had a gold iPhone once and by the time I’d had it a year I was dying to get a different color.
I guess it makes since to be more champagne or starlight leaning than siler or gray because I feel like the Apple Watch ultra leans a little in that direction to my eye. I don’t mind that tone in a watch I really like it on my Ulta but in a phone I don’t think it’s what I personally want. I’m pretty sure all the colors will be prettier in person..
