Matte Colour iPhone 18 Pro With Gold Accents: Every Colour and the Metal to Pair It With

Matte Chocolate iPhone 18 Pro Max with plated camera rings and side buttons

Most gold iPhones put the metal on the back. Leronza’s matte colour line for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max does the opposite: the aluminium body is re-anodised in a satin colour, and only the camera rings, side buttons and logo detail are plated in 24K Gold, Rose Gold or Platinum. That leaves two choices, a body colour and an accent metal, and each product page gives its own view on which metal suits its colour. This guide puts those recommendations side by side, which the individual pages do not do.

On the site the line sits under the Rhodium heading of the Gold iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max collection. Aqua Supreme and Cacao Noir are the most recent additions.

Every colour, with the metal its own page recommends

Start from the metal you already wear

The accent metal covers a small area, so it works best when it matches something you already carry: a watch, a ring, a pen. Reading the table the other way round gives a shortlist for each metal.

If you wear yellow gold

  • Nocturne Edition (black)
  • Cacao Noir (chocolate)
  • Verdant Supreme (green)
  • Amethyst Royale (purple)

If you wear rose gold

  • Umber Prestige (brown)
  • Rose Impériale (pink)
  • Vermillion Signature (red)

If you wear steel or platinum

  • Aqua Supreme (aqua) is the one page that puts Platinum first
  • Every other page lists Platinum as an alternative, usually for a cooler or higher-contrast look

These are first choices, not rules. Every colour is offered in all three metals, and the metal does not change the price: on each product page the 24K Gold, Rose Gold and Platinum options cost the same for a given size and capacity.

Or start from how you want the phone to come across

The product pages are candid about where each colour sits in the line. In their own terms:

  • The practical one: Nocturne Edition. Its page says matte black shows marks less than any other finish Leronza offers.
  • The quiet ones: Umber Prestige is described as the quietest colour in the line, and Cacao Noir as the darkest of the warm tones, for depth instead of shine.
  • The loud ones: Vermillion Signature is called the most extrovert colour Leronza makes, and Amethyst Royale the boldest choice in the line.
  • The gift: Rose Impériale is described as the colour most often ordered as a gift. Its page suggests a monogram engraved on the frame; ask the team about engraving before you order.
  • The lightest: Aqua Supreme is described as the freshest colour, for people who want the phone to feel light and modern.
  • The collector’s pick: Verdant Supreme. Its page calls green and gold a heritage combination borrowed from watchmaking.

How to read the price range

Each range in the table covers orders that include a new iPhone, so the two ends describe different phones.

  • The lowest figure is a new phone at the smallest size and capacity. It is the “Include a new iPhone 18” option at the Pro size with 256 GB.
  • Sending in your own phone costs less than the range shown. Every colour also has a “Use my own iPhone” option, where Leronza refinishes a phone you supply. Its price sits below the figures in the table and appears on the product page when you select it. The send-in guide explains how it works.
  • The highest figure is a new Pro Max at the largest capacity. New-phone orders come in 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB.
  • Size and capacity move the price; the metal does not. For what the step from Pro to Pro Max adds across the wider range, see the Pro or Pro Max comparison.
The ranges are not identical for every colour, so compare the live figures in the table instead of assuming they all match.

What the matte finish changes in daily use

The colour is produced by anodising, which the pages describe as bonded into the aluminium, not a wrap or a film sitting on top. Three practical points follow from that.

Wireless charging stays

No precious metal is laid across the back, so every page in this line lists MagSafe and Qi2 as unchanged. Leronza’s fully plated designs do not support wireless charging. The MagSafe guide compares every iPhone 18 Pro family on this point.

Care is simple

The pages give the same advice for every colour: wipe with a soft dry cloth, and keep solvents and abrasive cleaners away, because they can dull an anodised surface. The plated accents follow the usual rules in the care guide.

Water and warranty

Every page says Apple may treat a refinished phone as modified, so Apple’s own warranty can be affected. Most pages also say the phone is no longer water resistant after customisation; the two newest say water resistance should be treated as reduced. The safe reading is to keep any of these phones away from water. Leronza’s own cover applies to the refinishing and plating, and the warranty guide sets out what it includes.

Ordering

Each piece is made to order in Dubai. You choose the size, capacity and accent metal on the product page, then pay a 50% deposit or pay in full; the payment guide covers the methods. Customisation takes roughly one to two weeks, and shipping is complimentary, insured and tracked, with a signature required. Because the work is made to order, returns are not available, so it is worth settling the colour and metal before you commit. The product pages list a leather presentation box, Apple’s documentation, a Certificate of Authenticity, a USB-C cable and a 20W adapter with each phone.

Questions buyers ask

Are these Apple colours?
No. Each product page states that the colour is applied by Leronza in Dubai in a satin anodised finish and is not an Apple colour for the iPhone 18 Pro.
Does a matte colour iPhone 18 Pro still charge wirelessly?
Yes, according to every product page in the line. The back is anodised aluminium with no plated metal across it, so MagSafe and Qi2 are listed as unchanged.
Does choosing 24K Gold, Rose Gold or Platinum change the price?
No. For a given colour, size and capacity, the three accent metals are priced the same.
Can Leronza refinish an iPhone 18 Pro I already own?
Yes. Every colour has a “Use my own iPhone” option on its product page, priced below the options that include a new phone.
Is the phone still water resistant after the matte finish?
Treat it as not water resistant. Most pages in the line say the phone is no longer water resistant after customisation, and the newest say water resistance should be treated as reduced. Apple may also regard the phone as modified.
