That'd be a pretty cool theme. Would probably look like the email theme.
I have not decided on one yet but its interesting to see the votes though.
I personally swap, lean abit more to orange (which is what I voted for) but would swap to blue when I'm feeling like it lol.
I'm using "HTC" on black.
I found the green HTC theme better than other green.
I'll be using Red on Black!
Just pushing this thread back up since WP7 will be coming out in the states this week, and hopefully would push the total votes up
Pushing again, same reason as my last post

agree, black&white and/or greys would be great.
on another note during day i almost always use the white design and after sunset/when its dark i switch to the dark design.
i would have never thougt i would actually take the hassle of switching back and fort but somehow the two designs are really practical in different lightning conditions. I really appreciate microsoft included both options; one of the features which tunred out to be super usefull on WP7 enabled phones
Teal on Black here
Teal is like Blue, but stylish Try it
any chance that in a future update.. i might be able to have a little bit more variety in my colors?? don't get me wrong.. the "core" colors are pretty much there...but they completely forgot about other major colors... such as yellow, grey, white, black (as a tile color not the background... in case you're completely oblivious to the obvious) etc... it doesn't seem like something that would be that hard to minclude in an update.. yet it seems very elementary that it would be forgotten at launch
I think a colour selection wheel for the tiles would be awesome.
I'm using green on black because it's the most power-saving combination for SAMOLED-screens but I'd like to try grey on black or maybe gold on black.
I thought Id like green on black, but i tried red on black (which i originally thought was too strong a color) and it works surprisingly well
Push. Incase theres more peeps who recently received their WP7 device.
Just FYI,
For the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 or any device using Amoled screen.
Do not use:
- White background, it takes 3 times the power of normal LCD to produce white.
- Red theme, it makes characters look more pixelated and the edges of tiles grainy.
- Blue theme, blue color dies first in Amoled screens.
Do use:
- Black background, it uses the least power and much much less than a LCD.
- Green/lime would be your best bet since the fonts and tiles look much more clear and crisp because of the double pixels/saturation on green color.
Like the topic says, I have a question about the accessories colors from the s3.
Are the accessories more designed fore the blue or for the white s3?
I want to buy a s3 but I don't know which color would be better for the accessories so I hope you guys can help me!

To match the colours, it's really upto you how you think of it. I actually have the blue and i find it quite hard to find a perfect match with most lite colours cases, with blue it mostly grey, black, silver, brown, blue and similar dark colours, whiles the white S3 can match with many lite and dark colours.
I'll be getting a white S3 soon, so i'll have two.
already have about 9 cases, mostly dark and transparent colours.
As the person above stated, a white S3 will basically go with anything while certain colors look good for the blue. Don't let that be a deciding factor though since there are a lot of good looking cases that match the blue s3. I roll with a blue s3 cause it looks good.

What I do notice is that 99% of all accesoires are displayed with the white version. I have the blue one and sometimes it is hard to think if it matches the case. Nonetheless the blue color is very nice.

yeh, all adverts, photo's and reviews all use the white unit.
Simple, as stated above, white goes with everything, blue doesn't. I've had blue phones in the past and won't do it again. Regardless, the blue is still a good looking phone.
Currently not being productive.
Anyone think there a relative decision to release the galaxy s3 line of phones in red, white, and blue? Seeing how they were all in the Olympic mix

I like the change. Blue is beautiful and black is too common. Metallic Grey would've been good, too. But nothing beats pebble blue.

I think it was a complete coincidence. I think the white and blue colors are much more aesthetically pleasing than black. They're calming colors. Black is just kind of the neutral default. As for the red one, I'd bet that was 100% AT&T's idea. It doesn't fit the calming nature of the pebble blue and marble white or the nature ideas of TouchWiz. It's kind of tacky, imo.
Also, if you're implying that those colors were chosen to represent the US or something, I'd say you're almost certainly mistaken. First, red, white, and blue are all very common flag colors. Who's to say which country they chose the colors to represent? Second, the phones are being released around the world in the same two colors, including to countries with no white or blue in their flags. Third, assuming, then, that they were chosen to represent the Olympic colors rather than a country, what about the yellow, green, and black versions they would have to release? Fourth, if they were to release phones in special colors for any country, it would have to be their home country of South Korea, which actually has the colors white, blue, and red on their flag but is not getting the red phone.
Really, I think it just came down to the most aesthetically pleasing colors: white and blue (at least the particular shade of blue they used). Almost any other color would have either destroyed the whole design language or just looked really ugly. I don't think a pebble green (or moss green or leaf green or whatever) would have gone over quite as well. Same with yellow, pink, violet, brown... I mean, if the phone isn't black, what other colors could you use that wouldn't be ugly to a large portion of the population? White and light blue, exactly what Samsung chose (Nope. Still not counting red. I think AT&T really ****ed that up).

Ha! I was just going to point out the same thing :good:
I wanted Black or a "Gunmetal" Gray personally. Don't want a purple "pebble blue", so went white. Don't hate it, but everything else I own is Gunmetal and/or Black. Electronics, most of my shirts, even my car, lol
they may, but you´ll have to pay some extra money for a fancy color. I stay with the black and keep it classic.

Naa..no way man. Obviously they represent America and all it's kick ass'ness.
I like the idea going with the Olympics but I am not sure I could ever like the pebble blue color!

As an international phone that was first released in England (obviously the location of the games with the same flag color), this would fit right into the OP's theory. It's not just an American market they're selling to.

Obviously it's a matter of preference, but I'm really struggling between white and black. The blue is nice as well, but I wish it was more metallic like the xz1 blue.
The white with silver/aluminum edges and same button really looks nice. But then, ppl r saying black helps look less chunky and the bezels don't stand out as much.
BTW, anyone know why some black models have black power button, while others have silver?
Please share opinions.
I thought all black models have a black power button, where did you find black model with silver power button?
Coming from the beautiful white Z5C, the XZ1C white model was the first color I looked at, but was disappointed to find that it isn't really white, it's more silver, which cheapens the feel IMO.
I also think the silver power button a bit jarring on the blue and red models, had they been uniform in color, it would have made my choice a lot more difficult.
Ultimately, I found the black model to be the most elegant. I really loved the black power button color scheme, and also appreciated that this time around the black is really black, not some shade of gray.
The polished chamfered frame on the top and bottom looks very nice in black, just subtle enough for a display of sophistication. In comparison, I find it a bit too shiny on the blue and red models, and it just feels bland on the silver model.
Another reason I went in favor of the black model is because of all the large sensors this phone is equipped with, having a black body helps reduce their presence and blends in nicely. It's especially apparent on the other colors, and I can't help but notice their existence.
In summary, Sony made it very easy for me to choose the black model over the other color options.
black
Aah, just went back to the video I saw on YouTube, the guy switched between xz1 compact and x compact, in different shots, didn't catch the switcheroo.
I actually would have preferred black with silver/metallic button. I'm assuming that would've added to premium look.

The XZ1C's black power button does appear metallic, and subjectively I think it's much better than silver, and fits perfectly with the black body.
My wife had a black Z5C, it has a silver power button on a black frame, so I've seen and lived with my share of the silver on black combo, it's okay but doesn't strike me as more premium.
I was really drawn to the black on black scheme when I first saw the black XZ1C in person, it's very exotic in its own way, not to mention it's the only model that has a matching color power button.
Well, arguably the silver button on the white model matches too, but... it feels so run of the mill, very meh, works but boring.
There is no white color in XZ1c, it's silver and it's nice (my colleague has it).
I've taken the Horizon Blue which is more green than blue but I like it.
IMHO a black one is the ugliest this time (and I have always had black phones including Compacts)
I went with the "Twilight Pink" option since I had the Red Z3 Compact and I like the bold colour of the Z3C.
I find the name of the colour to be a bit misleading. To me, it looks more orangey than pink. Probably a bit closer to raw salmon, where it's closer to red / orange and not yet pink.
The only thing I would have liked Sony to keep would be the colour of the front glass. In all the older models, the front bezels were all black. The XZ1 Series started a new trend where the front bezel follows the colour of the body (not too sure about the XZ Premium).
Hi,
Got the black one and all I can say, it's really black and for my point of view, it's really elegant and classy.
All the buttons are black, and when the screen is off, it's looks like a black monolith : elegant.

Same here! I have black one and love its professional looking. I like the looks when the screen off, the device is one black bar. And when the screen on, the navigation bar at the bottom disappear and blends in to the black bezel. Gotta say the LCD quality of XZ1c is so high that the black is very close to AMOLED black, even in the no light environment.
I ended up choosing to go with black one. Gotta say, made the right choice; and the comments about black monolith and classy, right on point. That's what I love most about this device. 2001 space Odyssey quality monolith - I feel like I'm holding something prescious and amazing in hand.
I got the black one today. It really is stunning. It's a high quality black that i've never seen any other vendor other than Sony pull off. Pictures don't do it justice.
I got the black one and think it's beautiful, but I would've definitely grabbed a fully white model if there was one.
Loving my horizon blue...almost mint.
I have the "white silver" one. Yeah, the name is misleading, it's not white at all.
And it's not exactly silver either. It's more of a metallic gray. I was hoping it was shinier, like the paint on the Samsung GS7 silver version.
I still like how it looks though. It gives the phone an industrial look akin to HTC's M7.
I can't decide if I should go black or blue. I'm thinking black for all reasons listed. Blue is my favorite color, but the phone looks more aqua than the blue xz1. It's "lagoon" blue vs horizon blue
What color did you get or do you plan on getting?
I ended up with the black but I was really debating on the gray. It was really hard to tell what the gray really looked like in all of the pictures. The lighting always made it look different.
I was pretty disappointed in the color options this year. How do you feel about it?
Got the grey
Got black and I am also disappointed with the color options. I even asked Samsung if I can get the bundled Buds+ in black but they only ship white, ehkem with a 1349€ phone... Nevertheless I got into some discussion with their support and they gave me two additional wireless chargers that cost 60€ each.
I never really understood why there is mostly such a trend that top phones get less color options. Note 10 was banging and S20U is like duuuuuh... Maybe they thought that everyone will use a case because of that camera bump but it is not a good argumentation though.
Grey cuz black is kinda boring. I bet they’ll come out with another color in a few months.
Cosmic Gray
I'm not going to limit the phone I wanted to get due to a cir preference so obviously I got the only color available which was black. Stupid how they do that but whatever. Provided it was an option I would've gotten gray.
Like most people have already stated, colors were boring this year. Black was unoriginal, grey seemed too basic. I chose black.
Black, because only Black was 512GB.

Interesting. In Canada, only the Grey is 512GB.
In the UK only Grey is 512GB Ultra
And its exactly what I ordered ?
Black, because that was the only option for 512GB. I wanted the Grey.
Samsung, you disappoint with the color options as usual. I wanted a white Note 10+, had to get black. At least do ceramic or something like you did with the S10+ 1Tb, that was cool for the crazy price we are paying
Black 512 for me too, I always regretted not getting the s7 in the shiny silver colour, I wouldn't mind seeing that again.

I appreciate that I couldn't get grey in 512, made me realize I upgrade so much that getting the 512 in black isn't very smart since generally it will be worth about the same as the 128 when I upgrade.
I can understand why it would be less than ideal for others, but for me it worked out
Black because I haven't had it since the S2
Ordered black as it hides the camera bump best
Got Black. Thought everyone will go for grey. I might stand out. Also black is the only model with 512Gb
yeah I ordered the Black 512gb and I actually held the S20 ultra black today at best buy, and I`m glad I ordered the black one it looks lot better with the bigger camera bump, and doesn`t stand out like it does on the grey.
