Partly right. Some of this was right and some of it was not. It was reported on Sep 22, 2023 in 9to5Google, and we could not tell who reported it first. That was 12 days before Google Pixel 8 Pro was announced on Oct 4, 2023. Pixel 8 Pro shipped in a blue color, Porcelain, and Obsidian, but Google's official blue color name was Bay rather than Sky Blue; 'Obsidian Black' likewise was officially Obsidian.
