2027 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Colors Guide – The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 is the off-road flagship of Chevy’s completely redesigned light-duty truck lineup. It rides on standard 35-inch mud-terrain tires, a 2-inch lift, Multimatic DSSV dampers with jounce dampers, and front and rear electronic lockers. Choosing the right exterior color is one of the most important decisions U.S. buyers will make when they start ordering later this year.
This guide covers every confirmed 2027 Silverado 1500 ZR2 color, paint codes, extra-cost status, how each paint looks on the truck, and how it pairs with the ZR2’s unique interior.
Available 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 Exterior Colors
Chevrolet offers six exterior colors on the 2027 Silverado ZR2. Five are no-cost; one is a $395 premium paint. Two additional colors in the broader Silverado lineup (Pacific Blue Metallic and Polar White Tricoat) are High Country exclusives and are not available on ZR2. Riptide Blue Metallic is limited to street-oriented trims.
Here is the current ZR2 color list based on Chevrolet’s configurator and shared 2027 order-guide data:
- Apex Red (GAS) — $0
- Black (GBA) — $0
- Sterling Gray Metallic (GXD) — $0
- Summit White (GAZ) — $0
- White Sands (G42) — $0
- Trillium Green Metallic (GTM) — $395 extra
Three colors are new for 2027: Apex Red, Trillium Green Metallic, and Pacific Blue Metallic (the last one not offered on ZR2). Apex Red replaces the previous Red Hot and Radiant Red Tintcoat at no extra charge.
Apex Red
Apex Red is the new no-cost red for the entire 2027 Silverado lineup and looks especially aggressive on the ZR2 and ZR2 Bison. Chevrolet photographed the Bison edition in Apex Red in a desert canyon setting, highlighting the power-dome hood, 35-inch tires, and AEV-style armor.
The paint is a rich, modern red that reads sporty rather than traditional fire-engine. It pairs well with the ZR2’s blacked-out grille, fender flares, and Torch Red interior accents. Because it is available on every trim at no extra cost, it is expected to be a popular choice among U.S. off-road buyers who want a bold look without paying a premium.
Black
Black (GBA) remains a no-cost option on every 2027 Silverado trim, including ZR2. It delivers the classic stealthy, aggressive appearance that many off-road truck owners prefer. On the new-generation ZR2 the darker satin and smoked finishes replace much of the old bright chrome, so Black looks more cohesive than it did on the previous generation.
Black hides some trail dust but shows swirl marks and water spots more readily than lighter colors. It is a safe resale choice and works with the ZR2’s forged-carbon interior trim and Torch Red seatbelts.
Sterling Gray Metallic
Sterling Gray Metallic (GXD) is another no-cost color offered across the entire 2027 Silverado range. It is a modern, understated metallic gray that photographs well and hides dirt better than Black or Summit White.
On the ZR2 the color emphasizes the truck’s new squared-off lighting signature and wider stance. It is a strong everyday choice for buyers who want a capable look without standing out as much as Apex Red or Trillium Green.
Summit White
Summit White (GAZ) is a no-cost solid white available on ZR2 (it is not offered on High Country). It is the traditional clean-truck color that many fleet and work-oriented buyers still prefer, but it also looks sharp on a lifted off-roader.
White shows dirt quickly, especially in the fender wells and rocker panels of a 35-inch-tire ZR2. It is easy to touch up and generally holds value well in the used-truck market.
White Sands
White Sands (G42) is a no-cost color that Chevrolet has used extensively in official 2027 ZR2 photography, including desert and overlook shots. It is a pale, sandy off-white / light metallic tone that sits between Summit White and Sterling Gray.
The color was chosen for official beauty shots because it photographs cleanly in bright sunlight and complements the truck’s modern, less-Western design language. Many observers note that White Sands hides light trail dust better than pure white while still looking distinctive.
Trillium Green Metallic
Trillium Green Metallic (GTM) is the standout new color for off-road Silverados. It is a deep, earthy green available only on Custom Trail Boss, Trail Boss, ZR2, and High Country for a reported $395 extra. GM-Trucks and other sources have called a Trillium Green ZR2 on 35-inch tires one of the best-looking combinations of the 2027 model year.
The paint has a rich metallic flake that shifts in sunlight and looks at home in forest or desert environments. Because it is not available on the base WT or Custom trims, it helps the ZR2 stand apart from work trucks. Expect this color to be less common on the road, which can be an advantage for buyers who want something distinctive.
The official pack shot of the 2027 lineup shows Trillium Green Metallic on the Trail Boss next to a White Sands ZR2 and a Black High Country, giving a clear side-by-side comparison.
ZR2 Interior Color and How It Pairs With Exterior Paint?
The 2027 Silverado ZR2 uses a single interior theme: Jet Black / Dark Galvanized with Torch Red accents, Torch Red-edged seatbelts, suede inserts, embossed ZR2 headrests, and real forged carbon-fiber trim on the doors and console. This is GM’s first use of forged carbon décor.
- Apex Red exterior + Torch Red interior creates a cohesive sporty theme.
- Black or Sterling Gray exteriors let the red seatbelts and carbon trim pop.
- White Sands and Summit White give a high-contrast, clean look against the dark cabin.
- Trillium Green Metallic works well with the earthy, adventure-oriented interior.
All ZR2 models also get large digital displays (16.3-inch center screen, 12.2-inch driver display, plus an 11.5-inch passenger screen, HUD, and rear-camera mirror on higher configurations).
Color Pricing, Availability, and Ordering Notes for U.S. Buyers
As of September 2026, official MSRP and the full order guide have not been published. The $395 figure for Trillium Green Metallic comes from dealer and configurator reports and is consistent with GM’s typical metallic upcharge. Polar White Tricoat ($995) and Pacific Blue Metallic remain High Country-only.
Color availability can change mid-year. Buyers should confirm options in the Chevrolet configurator or with a dealer when 2027 Silverado orders open later this year. The ZR2 Bison edition uses the same exterior color palette as the standard ZR2.
Popular combinations expected among U.S. off-road customers:
- Trillium Green Metallic for a unique trail look
- Apex Red for maximum visual impact
- White Sands or Sterling Gray Metallic for a modern, lower-maintenance daily driver
- Black for a stealthy, aggressive stance
