The Best Yeti Colors of 2024

From colorful lunch boxes to bright soft coolers, Yeti doesn’t shy away from color. After every new launch, the Yeti fanbase flocks to Reddit without fail to give their hot takes. As equipment testers who stand by Yeti coolers and insulated tumblers, we believe it’s our responsibility to give our own unsolicited two cents on what we personally think are the best Yeti colors. It’s especially important since Yeti products are built to withstand rugged environments—like surviving a fall out the back of a truck—they’ll last a very long time, so the color you choose is the color you’ll look at for years to come. Below are our favorites, from new Yeti colors to classic hues from when the brand first hit the market.

Yeti Rambler 20-Ounce Tumbler in King Crab Orange

A very divisive shade, the bright King Crab Orange takes the concept of high-vis to a whole new level. I was gifted this tumbler years ago and it has become my de facto travel tumbler. The high-vis orange is very hard to miss, and for someone like me who misplaces my things all the time, I love that it will stick out no matter where I set it down. — An Uong, commerce writer

Yeti Loadout 5-Gallon Bucket in Seafoam

Not me eyeing this highly aesthetic slop bucket for my weekly trip to the compost dump station… What can I say? I’m convinced the Seafoam Green will make the chore (kinda) fun. — Rochelle Bilow, commerce editor

Yeti Rambler 14-Ounce Stackable Mug in Seafoam

Another vote for Seafoam—it’s not too teal, and it’s not too in-your-face blue. Sipping my morning coffee from my pretty mug just brightens up my day. (I’m drinking out of it as I write this!) Plus, I’m a huge fan of the mug itself: The slider lid is easy to use and keeps my coffee hot, and it’s so convenient that I can put both the mug and lid in the dishwasher. I have the huge 14-ounce size because I drink a lot of coffee, but I’m obsessed with the cute 6-ounce mugs too. This was definitely my best Prime Day purchase. — Phoebe Sklansky, senior commerce editor

Yeti 42-Ounce Straw Mug in Sandstone Pink

I tested a whole bunch of insulated tumblers and highly recommend this one from Yeti. My favorite color it comes in is Sandstone Pink (I have a couple of Yeti items in this hue and like that it’s pink but not overly so). The tapered base easily fits in a car cup holder and the straw has a buffer at the end so it doesn’t accidentally come out. — Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm, associate editorial director

Yeti Tundra 45 Hard Cooler in Tan

Ah, a Yeti hard cooler in Tan: The most iconic Yeti pairing. The product that started it all, the classic Tundra cooler, now comes in a wide range of bright colors, but Tan still remains one of the core colors from back when the brand first hit the market. It’s perfectly neutral for any occasion. — An

Yeti Rambler Wine Chiller in Wild Vine Red

It’s a tough call between Rescue Red and Wild Vine Red, but the latter is simply too lovely to not be crowned as the best red. Inspired by those who “forage and feast,” according to the brand, Wild Vine Red complements the deeper shades found in forests and oceans. It looks especially fitting on the Rambler wine chiller. — An

Yeti 20-Ounce Tumbler in Cosmic Lilac

I’ve been lucky to receive some Yeti products for free throughout my years of product testing, but I purchased this tumbler in Cosmic Lilac with my own money because I love the color so much. The pastel purple is perfection in my eyes—and looks great with the cup’s silver accents. I even bought my dog, Olive, a food bowl in this color.  — Riddley

Yeti Rambler 30-Ounce Tumbler in Canopy Green

I’m from Philadelphia, what else can I say? — Amanda Suarez, associate visuals director

Yeti Rambler 25-Ounce Straw Mug in Agave Teal

After reading our review on insulated tumblers, I purchased the Rambler straw mug. I opted for the more demure, very lady-like 25-ounce size. The Agave Teal colorway is easy on the eyes and actually matches the tiling in my kitchen.  — Leah Colins, senior culinary editor
