With every new iPhone generation comes new color options, and the iPhone 16 series gets Apple closer to using every shade and hue of the rainbow. 

As usual, the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models are available in brighter and more colorful options than the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which come in more conservative colors that invoke a more luxurious look. 

With the base iPhone 16 models, Apple retained the color-infused glass back of the base iPhone 15 models but switched gears from last year's light pastel color palette and opted for deeper-toned colors on the new models. For the iPhone 16 Pro models, Apple mostly kept the same colors as the iPhone 15 Pro models, except it replaced the Blue Titanium model with a brand-new Desert Titanium option. 

iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus colors

The base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are available in five colors: ultramarine, teal, pink, black, and white. They have aluminum frames and rear color-infused glass panels and camera modules. The rear camera units are deeper-colored than the rest of the phones (with the exception of the new white colorway), and the new lineup's colors are deeper across the board than the pastel colorways of the base iPhone 15 models. 

Ultramarine is a new color for the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. It's mostly blue with a hint of purple. The camera is a true ultramarine blue color, which is deep and rich. 

Teal is also a new color for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. It's a blend of light green and blue.

The new pink colorway for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is more vibrant and deep than the pastel pink of the base iPhone 15 models.

The black iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus option is a classic neutral color that easily complements any case color. For some, black may impart a more premium look. It's been available on several previous iPhone generations. 

White is a new color for the base iPhone models, year over year, as the iPhone 15 lineup lacked a white colorway. It's a purer white than the Starlight white option from the iPhone 14 series.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max colors

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are available in four colors: Desert Titanium, Natural Titanium, Black Titanium, and White Titanium. Their titanium frames and rear glass panels have a frosted matte texture. The rear camera units are clear glass with an identical hue that matches the phone's color, except for the Black Titanium model's camera unit, which appears deeper than the rest of the phone's black color.

Desert Titanium is a new colorway for the iPhone 16 Pro models, the latest high-end and very best iPhones available, specs-wise. It has a warm, light golden hue for the glass and a deeper gold color for the frame. 

Natural Titanium is the equivalent of a silver color option with a slightly warmer hue. It was also available in the iPhone 15 Pro models. 

Black and White Titanium were also available in the previous iPhone 15 Pro models. They are the classic neutral color options, and you can't go wrong with either. They'll complement any color case you put on them when the camera's color sticks out the back.
