One of my all time "favorite" threads on here was the guy worried about whether or not guys could use a blue iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

Hahahah excellent, thank you!
This was a cracker. Which color iPhone 5s would be a great gift for your Grandma?
Next month we'll see some guys worried about getting the purple 14 
I don’t care too much about the color. The iPhone goes in a case and only leaves the case for occasional cleaning.
A burnt orange color would be nice. I used to get the saddle leather Apple case, but I don't like cases anymore.
But yeah the "Pro" connotation seems to evoke a conservative color approach by Apple. Muted for the Pro vs bold(er) for the non-pro.

Pacific Blue what a great color Pleasing to the eyes , unique
And vibrant. Would be great to see that color again. It’s a proven winner
I agree I always go with silver or gold but I would like pink or purple.
I like Sierra, but Midnight and Pacific always looked gray/black except for in the sun
I would like to see an all "MacBook silver" colored phone , no white back
This is why I buy crystal clear cases so I can still admire the color and appearance of the phone without worrying about my klutz-like tendencies to destroy it.Funny, I obsessed over the color of my phone , got EXACTLY what I wanted, then it wasn't long before realizing that unless I took it out of it's case, it doesn't make a darn bit of difference what color it is.
Outside the case though, I think the Graphite is VERY attractive.
I admire it weekly as I'm cleaning both the case & the phone.
I have a Serria Blue 13 Pro but honestly I think the Aluminum standard models basically always look better. I even like the weird domino looking thing the base 13 has going on with the camera. Ditto for the base 12 having a purple option last year. I don't like the super reflective edges and dull colors of the pro, but the base models lack too many things I want.
Getting a dark / neutral colored iPhone (and then just adding whatever case you want) on top is the most pragmatic approach IMO; Phone is protected, and you can easily get a couple of (relatively inexpensive) different coloured cases you can change anytime you'd like.
From my experience, whenever I bought a product in a specific color (that was my favourite at the time), at some point I grew tired of it 😄.

I genuinely miss the dark blue option they had. It looked SO nice that I often used it out of the case. I truly wish this was a color they kept.
Yeah I've also noticed that something is off with the colour selection (not only for iPhones btw). I remember looking at iPod Nanos and having the urge to buy them just because they looked cool.
I personally really liked the gold color options ever since they started using the stainless steel frames on the iPhone Xs. But I do agree that it would be nice to get more variation on the Pro line. I didn't like Sierra Blue, but Pacific Blue and Alpine Green were great new additions. I just hope they don't continue to hold back the interesting color options until halfway through the year in the future.
I guess that depends on what Pro actually means (which I'm sure there is plenty of discussion).
To me, its the better camera system.
So does that mean muted back colors are better for photography?
I think a reason for muted colors is the processing for coloring stainless steel with some semblance of scratch resistance. I work in metal for AM use and surface finish for steel is one thing already given inherent properties. Granted, Apple is machining these, not printing them.
I personally would take aluminum with frosted glass on a Pro to get colors like product red, matte black, matte white. Jet black would be a welcome return as well.
