2026 Ford Expedition Colors: Full Guide & Options – The 2026 Ford Expedition, the second year of the fifth-generation full-size SUV, offers a refined palette of eight exterior colors for U.S. buyers. This includes the new Marsh Gray while dropping the previous Wild Green. Most colors are available across trims (Active, Tremor, Platinum, and King Ranch), with some trim restrictions and optional premium finishes. A new black-painted roof option on higher trims creates dual-tone looks.

Exterior Color Options for the 2026 Ford Expedition
The 2026 model carries over most colors from the prior year with one addition and one deletion. Paint codes help identify options when ordering or matching for repairs.
Here are the available exterior colors:
- Agate Black Metallic (paint code UM)
- Dark Matter Gray Metallic (paint code HY)
- Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat (paint code R7)
- Marsh Gray (paint code T9) — new for 2026
- Oxford White (paint code YZ)
- Space Silver Metallic (paint code A3)
- Star White Metallic Tri-Coat (paint code AZ)
- Stone Blue Metallic (paint code C8)
Most colors are available on Active, Tremor, Platinum, and King Ranch trims. Stone Blue Metallic is offered on Active, Tremor, and Platinum but not King Ranch. Premium options such as Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, Star White Metallic Tri-Coat, and Stone Blue Metallic typically carry an extra charge. Oxford White and Agate Black Metallic are generally no-cost or base options, while Marsh Gray is also a no-cost addition.
New Marsh Gray Color for 2026
Marsh Gray (T9) is the standout addition for the 2026 Expedition. This neutral, brownish-gray tone works well across the lineup and pairs with available packages such as the Platinum Stealth Appearance Package, Stealth Performance Package, and Platinum Ultimate Package. It is available on every trim and with all interior colorways.
Ford introduced Marsh Gray as a fresh neutral while discontinuing Wild Green (previously code FC). The change keeps the overall count at eight exterior colors.
Black-Painted Roof Option
For the first time on the Expedition, a black-painted roof is available on Platinum and King Ranch trims. It pairs with every exterior color except Agate Black Metallic, creating a dual-tone appearance popular on modern SUVs. Pricing for this option was not detailed in early releases, and it has some package restrictions (for example, it is not available with the Console Vault).
Interior Color Options
Interior choices are trim-dependent and focus on practical, upscale tones. Common options include:
- Ultra Dark Space Gray
- Space Gray
- Black Onyx / Electric Spice (notably on Tremor)
- Salt Crystal Gray / Black Onyx
- Salt Crystal Gray / Mojave Dusk
- Mesa (signature on King Ranch)
Higher trims such as Platinum and King Ranch offer richer leather materials, perforated inserts, and accent stitching. Active models typically stick to simpler cloth or ActiveX options in gray tones, while Tremor emphasizes black with Electric Spice accents. Exact availability depends on the equipment group and packages selected.
Color Availability by Trim and Packages
- Active and Tremor: Broad access to the full exterior list (except Stone Blue limitations on some configurations) and standard interior themes.
- Platinum: Full exterior access plus Stealth packages that favor darker or monochromatic looks; black-painted roof available.
- King Ranch: Nearly full exterior access (no Stone Blue) with signature Mesa interior and bronze accents; black-painted roof available.
Packages like Stealth Appearance or Stealth Performance can influence wheel finishes and exterior trim that complement the paint. Always verify current availability and pricing through Ford’s build-and-price tool or a local dealer, as options can vary by region and production.
Tips for Choosing 2026 Ford Expedition Colors
Neutral shades such as Agate Black Metallic, Oxford White, Space Silver Metallic, and the new Marsh Gray tend to hold broad appeal and strong resale value in the U.S. market. Lighter colors like Oxford White or Star White Metallic Tri-Coat can help manage heat in warmer climates, while darker metallics offer a more premium appearance.
Test combinations in person when possible—especially dual-tone black-roof setups or Marsh Gray with different interiors—to see how they look in real lighting.
The 2026 Ford Expedition’s color lineup prioritizes versatile neutrals with a practical new option in Marsh Gray and the added style of an optional black roof on top trims. For the latest confirmation, check Ford.com or your dealer, as production details can evolve.
