Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Cobalt Violet
Not so in the sea
Gone is the dark navy blue from last year. It was replaced by the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Cobalt Violet. This deep color is a mix of navy, cobalt, and a touch of violet.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Sky Blue
Baby blue
Sky Blue is the Samsung Galaxy S26’s version of the S25’s Icyblue. The mid-sized S26 Plus looks fetching in this light, soft shade of baby blue.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus Black
Fashion 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 attention. It does not show dirt or scratches easily.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in White
The return of white
White gives an air of luxury and minimalism. It’s a class act without being too boring, like Black. I’m very happy that White is back on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus, after skipping the S25 series.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Silver Shadow
A special light
You won’t find this online exclusive Galaxy S26 Plus color anywhere. Silver Shadow is not 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 beautiful cream 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.
Putting it down to one of the six colors of the Galaxy S26 Plus is a huge undertaking
Samsung has given us half a dozen colors for the Galaxy S26 Plus, so choosing which color to buy is daunting. It doesn’t help that most of those shades are cool and gray-toned, with only one warm shade available online.
Cobalt Violet is a new color for the Galaxy S26 family, although it doesn’t look as novel as the name suggests. The color is dark blue with purple hues. Since this is a dark shade, it doesn’t smudge easily, and minor scratches aren’t very noticeable. Overall, it’s an interesting color.
If you want a light coat of paint on your Samsung Galaxy S26, you can always choose the baby blue variant of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus in Sky Blue. There’s White too, if you want something clear, and if you want something warm, Pink Gold is really bright.
Lighter shades require more care as dirt and fingerprints really stand out. Small scratches and scuffs are also more visible on lighter colors, so factor this into your decision before purchasing. If you are set to a light color, you can always get a clear case for your S26 Plus.
