Thanks to code strings uncovered by 9to5Google in the latest Contacts app, we now know that HiLight will offer personalized color-coded alerts. Users will be able to assign colors to individual contacts so they know exactly who is calling. The leaked palette of supported colors includes Blue, Cyan, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Teal, White, and Yellow.

The feature is expected to debut on the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold when the company officially unveils the lineup on August 12.
