THE latest models of iPhone come in a range of colours - from lilac to black, there's one for all.
But according to a colour whizz and psychology enthusiast, the one you end up bagging has a lot to do with your personality - and there's a hue all practical babes go for.
So what colour is your mobile phone? Matthew Reacher, at , spoke to smartphone retailer to spill the beans.
Pink
According to Matthew, who's had an interest in colours ever since he was a kid, those with pink phones tend to be social butterflies.
They're friendly, outgoing, bubbly and are not afraid to show their emotions.
''Someone with a pink phone is likely to have a strong desire to express themselves.

''They’re likely to have a lot of very feminine traits. They probably get energy and positive feelings from bright colours, and they’re likely to have artistic or creative impulses.''
Black
The majority of smartphones come in black and if this is your go-to pick, the colour whizz reckoned you probably have little to no interest in self-expression.
Although you could see it as a device for functional use, colour black can also be a motivator.
This dark hue, he explained, has long been associated with elegance, power, sophistication and professionalism.

''They like these associations, and they want to be seen in that particular way. It is perhaps an expression of their true self.''
Gold
Someone who has a shiny gold phone probably believes in all the common associations of gold - wealth, status-seeking, generosity and materialism.

If this sounds like you, you're probably also outgoing and care about social status.
You want others to know you're financially successful - and of course, the finer things in life are a must.
Red
Red is one of the most vibrant hues - and just like this colour, you want to be seen.
As it's an unconventional colour for a phone, you want attention and have a chatty and outgoing personality, the guru noted.
''They’re also likely to be very expressive, they’re more focused on their own opinions and tastes. They also don’t care much about what other people think.
''This person just wants to do their own thing rather than to conform with popular conventions.''
Blue
iPhone comes with both the darker navy hues and more light blue.
Whichever of the two you pick, Matthew believed you've chosen this due to its relaxing nature - you ''crave the tranquillity of the ocean''.
''It may also suggest a desire for individuality, self-expression, and perhaps creative desire.
''Generally, their motivations are more likely to be introverted and inner-directed.”
White
This chic-looking model comes with a pearly hue, and the whizz reckoned there might be a myriad of reasons one has chosen this particular colour.
One of these, he explained, is that the person could be an extrovert who loves attention and being noticed.
On the other hand, you could also be someone who enjoys simplicity, cleanliness and symmetry.
Silver
Apple fans will know that their 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max models come in stunning silver hues.
