Does the Lilac Purple look Pink in Person?

[amyf27]

What's funny is I pre-ordered the Lilac but I haven't seen it in person yet I've only seen the blue and it's pretty light.

The phone looks violet here! The color must be chameleon like!

Can you provide a link to the "clear sparkle case" you are referring to? Sounds like something I would like.

Same phone taken from two different users on this thread. Phone looks mauve in one photo, and violet/lilac in another.

rjack22, the case I was referencing is the Case-Mate Sheer Crystal Clear https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...crystal-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus&token=rqQ7hzpi

It is very similar to the Sheer Glam case I currently have on my S6 Edge now. They have lifetime warranty and stand behind it...I have had the clear bumper replaced several times due to yellowing but the case itself never yellowed. They cost more but I think they are worth it.

I would love to have the clear sparkle on the back of the phone but with the purple bumpers like on these phones. I've been searching but I don't think anyone makes one...or at least one I can find yet!

AspenQn,

Thanks for the link! I am going to look into that case!

Yeah reviewers covered that the color seems to change with the lighting. From what I can see, the other photo has the phone more shadowed. Check out the camera cutouts, they're not lit up and hard to distinguish. I angled the picture I got so the lights hit it better.

The blue phone was also mentioned to seem to shift between shades of blue to gray depending on lighting. So the lilac color shifting may be similar.

AspenQn,

You're welcome! Looking at it again and given the uncertainty of the true color of the phone, I think I am going with it...again!

It does make me feel better that in some light , it does actually look purple.

To be fair, when I snapped the photo on the left, the lighting in the store was pretty dim, and it was a cloudy day. Plus, I really hate the huge tethers that particular store uses on display units. But yes, the color definitely shifts in different lighting.

Definitely darker than Pink or Magenta. IMO, much more on the Purple side. But lighting makes a big difference to the pics.

For sure. It will give you the same kind of colour/shade differences that the U11 does. I really love that colour!

I ordered the Coral blue! I've never had a color choice in blue before on any Galaxy from Sprint so I can't wait!

Coral Blue is also an excellent choice! Samsung seems to do a good job with colour choices and colour quality.

it does look pink-ish

Coral blue is lovely however I have the purple lilac. It's a lot darker than you see so it is more purple. But when you take a pic or in certain lights it looks lighter. However when you slap a big case on it you can't see what colour it is lol!

 

[amyf27]

I took a few photos today - my first encounter with the Lilac

 

[Morty2264]

Beautiful photos, guys! Thank you for sharing!

Every pic in this thread looks pink to me.
