Complete Guide to IQOS Limited Colors by Generation! Summary of All Varieties

Hello, I'm Genki, a heated tobacco and e-cigarette blogger.

As of 2026/9, numerous limited-edition colors of IQOS have been released across successive generations of models. In particular, IQOS 3 DUO saw the release of striking colors such as the spring limited edition and the limited-quantity "Ryo" (Coolness) model.

Compared to standard colors, limited-edition colors are sold for a shorter period, and if you miss them they can become hard to find. Knowing what limited colors came out in the past is also helpful when checking for upcoming new colors.

In this article, we introduce IQOS limited-edition and new colors confirmed through official announcements and hands-on reviews, along with past models!

IQOS 3 DUO Spring Limited Color Model (Ultra Violet)

The spring limited-edition color model released on 2020/3/17 was Ultra Violet, characterized by a vivid color gradation.

In hands-on reviews, it was praised for having luxurious packaging right from the box, giving it a special feel. Its design allowed users to enjoy shifting hues between the holder and the charger.

Because it was a spring limited edition, some stores reportedly sold out within the sales period. If you're interested, check out the stock situation from that time.

Limited-Quantity "Ryo" Model Pre-released Worldwide on 2020/6/30

For IQOS 3 DUO, the limited-quantity new "Ryo" model arrived on 2020/6/30 as a worldwide pre-release in Japan.

A collaboration with kimono designer and textile artist Jotaro Saito was realized, and many original collaboration items were also prepared.

It debuted as a limited color themed around "Ryo" (coolness). Be sure to check official announcements for the specific color name.

New Color Easily Mistaken for a Limited Edition: "Frosted Red"

Frosted Red, which debuted in winter 2020, was added to the lineup as a regular new color rather than a limited edition.

Rather than bright red, it has a calm shade closer to Bordeaux or maroon, featuring a shimmer-like finish when viewed up close. Reviews describe it as a "mature red."

Around the same time, the official IQOS website was revamped with the slogan "Express Yourself," and playful designs combining different cap and body colors on the holder also became a hot topic.

Although it is not a limited color, quantities may still be limited at times, so if you're interested, check it out early.
