Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Cobalt Violet
Not so navy
Gone is the dark navy blue from last year. It has been replaced by the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Cobalt Violet in its stead. This deep hue is a mixture of navy, cobalt, and a touch of violet.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Sky Blue
Baby blue
Sky Blue is Samsung’s Galaxy S26 version of the S25’s Icyblue. The mid-sized S26 Plus looks rather fetching in this light, soft shade of baby blue.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Black
Fashionable forever
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Black is a very safe choice. Black always looks good on any phone, but it doesn’t make waves or command attention. It doesn’t show dirt or scratches easily.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in White
White returns
White gives off an air of luxury and minimalism. It’s a class act without being too boring, like Black. I’m so glad White has made a return on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus, after skipping the S25 series.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Silver Shadow
Exclusive gleam
You won’t find this online exclusive colorway of the Galaxy S26 Plus everywhere. Silver Shadow isn’t a new shade, but it looks a little different with the S26 series.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Pink Gold
Old money vibes
The only warm shade in the S26 family is a grand creamy shade, and it’s an online exclusive. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Pink Gold is not pink, but more of a muted gold or cream color.
Whittling it down to one of six Galaxy S26 Plus colorways is quite a task
Samsung gave us half a dozen colorways with the Galaxy S26 Plus, so choosing which color to buy is a little overwhelming. It doesn’t help that a majority of those shades are cool-toned and grayish, with only a single warm color that’s an online exclusive.
Cobalt Violet is the new colorway with the Galaxy S26 family, though it doesn’t look as novel as the name suggests. It’s a dark blue-ish colorway with purply hues. Since this is a darker shade, it does not get dirty too easily, and small scratches aren’t as highly visible either. Overall, it’s a pleasing colorway.
If you want a lighter coat of paint on your Samsung Galaxy S26, you can always opt for the baby blue Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus variant in Sky Blue. There’s White as well, if you want something plainer, and if you want something warm, Pink Gold is quite light too.
Lighter shades require more upkeep as dirt and fingerprints really stand out. Small abrasions and scratches are also more visible on lighter colors, so factor this into your decision before making a purchase. If you’re set on a lighter colorway, you could always get a clear case for your S26 Plus as well.
