So you’re shopping for the new Motorola Edge 2026, which was just announced on June 2 and goes on sale June 11 for $599. Naturally, you want to know what colors it comes in. Here’s the deal: Motorola is keeping it simple this year. The Edge 2026 launches in just one color, PANTONE Martini Olive, and that’s it.
I know a single-color launch can feel disappointing when other brands are out here pushing five and six colorways. But honestly? Martini Olive is a really good pick. It’s a warm, earthy green-gold tone that genuinely looks premium, and the woven-style textured back gives it a finish you don’t see on a lot of phones in this price range. The texture also helps with grip, which is a nice bonus if you’re a butterfinger like me.
Why just one color this year?
This is a bit of a shift from past Motorola Edge launches, where we typically got two or three colors at launch. Motorola is leaning hard into the PANTONE partnership and picking one standout color rather than offering a safe black or white option that nobody actually buys. Motorola itself has said most of its phone sales aren’t black, white, or neutral colors. People want something interesting, and Martini Olive definitely qualifies.
It’s also worth noting that Martini Olive isn’t new to Motorola’s lineup. The same color showed up on the Motorola Signature flagship that launched back in January, alongside a Pantone Carbon option. So Motorola clearly likes this shade enough to keep using it across multiple devices. The Signature was a Europe-only release, though, so the Edge 2026 is your only shot at getting this color in the US.
If you were hoping for something different, the rest of the 2026 Edge family includes seven total devices, and some of those models do come in more color options. The upcoming Motorola Edge 70 Pro, for example, is expected to launch in Pantone Titan, Pantone Zinfandel, a wooden-textured variant, and possibly a green satin-luxe finish. So if you want more variety, those phones are worth waiting for. But most of them are international releases, so North American buyers are kind of stuck with the Edge 2026 as their main Motorola pick this year.
The good news is that the Martini Olive finish on the Motorola Edge 2026 really does look great in person. The texture, the warm tone, the way it catches light. It’s the kind of color that actually makes you not want to slap a case on the phone, which is rare these days. One color isn’t a lot, but when it looks this good, I’ll take it.
