2027 Chevy Equinox Colors: All Paint Options – The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox continues as a practical, stylish midsize SUV for U.S. buyers, with a refreshed exterior color palette that emphasizes versatility and personalization. Chevrolet offers eight exterior paint options for the gas-powered Equinox (distinct from the Equinox EV), including a new-for-2027 hue that replaces a previous color. Availability, costs, and two-tone roof combinations vary by trim: LT, Activ, and RS.
Information draws from reliable reporting on official order guides and Chevrolet resources current as of mid-to-late 2026. Always verify final availability, pricing, and combinations with a local Chevrolet dealer or the official build-and-price tool, as options can change and destination charges or regional factors may apply.
Overview of 2027 Chevrolet Equinox Exterior Colors
The 2027 Equinox paint lineup balances no-cost standards with select premium finishes. Standard no-cost colors include Autumn Harvest Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Reef Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, and Summit White. Premium options are Radiant Red Tintcoat ($495) and Polar White Tricoat ($995).
A key change for 2027 is the addition of Autumn Harvest Metallic (paint code GTJ), which replaces the discontinued Cacti Green. Chevrolet positions Autumn Harvest Metallic as exclusive to the LT and Activ trims. Two-tone roofs (Mosaic Black Metallic or Summit White) expand customization on many colors, with costs and eligibility depending on the base paint and trim.
These options pair with the Equinox’s distinct front fascias, LED lighting, and available appearance packages (such as Midnight Edition on LT) to create different looks ranging from understated and versatile to sporty or adventure-oriented.
Complete List of 2027 Equinox Paint Options
Here are the eight exterior colors with their paint codes:
- Autumn Harvest Metallic (GTJ) — New warm bronze-gold metallic; no-cost; LT and Activ only.
- Lakeshore Blue Metallic (GXP) — Rich blue metallic; no-cost.
- Mosaic Black Metallic (GB8) — Deep black metallic; no-cost; available across trims.

Chevrolet’s official site highlights the new Autumn Harvest Metallic specifically for LT and Activ models, along with available two-tone roofs for contrasting combinations.
Two-Tone Roof Options for the 2027 Equinox
Many colors support contrasting roofs for a more distinctive appearance:
- Mosaic Black Metallic roof (codes such as 94T or similar depending on configuration).
- Summit White roof (09T).
These two-tones are not universal. Some are no-cost on certain trims (for example, Summit White roof on Activ with select colors), while others add $495 (or higher when combined with premium base paints). Mosaic Black Metallic body color generally cannot pair with a black roof. Polar White Tricoat has more limited two-tone availability. Check the specific combination in the dealer order guide or configurator, as restrictions apply by trim and paint.
Paint Availability by Trim Level
Availability differs across the three trims:
LT — Broadest access to standard colors including Autumn Harvest Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, Sterling Gray Metallic, and Summit White. Two-tone roofs available at extra cost on many colors. Polar White Tricoat and Reef Blue Metallic are not available on LT.
Activ — Emphasizes adventure styling. Offers Autumn Harvest Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Polar White Tricoat, Radiant Red Tintcoat, Reef Blue Metallic, and Sterling Gray Metallic. Summit White roof is frequently available (sometimes at no extra cost) with compatible colors. Lakeshore Blue Metallic and standard Summit White body are limited or unavailable.
RS — Sport-oriented. Includes Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Polar White Tricoat, Radiant Red Tintcoat, Reef Blue Metallic, and Sterling Gray Metallic. Mosaic Black Metallic roof is often available (sometimes no-cost). Autumn Harvest Metallic and Summit White body are not offered.
Exact pairings and any package interactions (such as Midnight Edition) should be confirmed at ordering time.
Premium vs. Standard Colors and Approximate Costs
Most buyers can stay at no extra charge with the six standard colors. Premium finishes add visual depth:
- Radiant Red Tintcoat: typically $495 (higher when combined with a contrasting roof on some configurations).
- Polar White Tricoat: typically $995 (higher with certain two-tone roofs).
Two-tone roofs commonly add $495 when not included at no charge on the selected trim. These figures reflect reported order-guide pricing around the 2027 model launch and do not include destination freight, taxes, or dealer fees. Actual transaction prices vary.
Tips for Choosing the Right 2027 Equinox Color
Neutral shades like Sterling Gray Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, and Summit White offer timeless appeal and may help with resale. Brighter or unique options such as Radiant Red Tintcoat, Reef Blue Metallic, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, or the new Autumn Harvest Metallic stand out more and pair well with specific trims (for example, Autumn Harvest with Activ’s Maple Sugar interior accents).
Consider maintenance: darker colors can show dust, water spots, and swirl marks more readily, while lighter or metallic finishes may hide minor road film better in some climates. Two-tone roofs add style but can influence perceived size and may require extra care at the color break. Match the exterior to available interiors (Black, Artemis Gray on LT; Maple Sugar on Activ; Black with red accents on RS) for a cohesive look.
Use Chevrolet’s official build-and-price tool or visit a dealer to visualize combinations in person, as online images and lighting can vary.
The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox color selection gives U.S. shoppers solid flexibility without forcing a premium spend for most popular choices. The addition of Autumn Harvest Metallic refreshes the palette while retaining proven favorites. Confirm the latest details with a Chevrolet dealer for the most accurate ordering information.
