2027 GMC Acadia Colors: Full Paint List Options – The 2027 GMC Acadia midsize three-row SUV returns for U.S. buyers with a refined selection of exterior paint options. While the overall design and powertrain carry over largely unchanged from the prior year, GMC refreshed the color palette by adding two new shades and dropping two previous ones. Shoppers can choose from eight exterior finishes, with availability and pricing varying by trim: Elevation, AT4, Denali, and Denali Ultimate.
Summit White remains the sole no-cost color. Most other paints carry an extra charge of $495 to $1,095. Production occurs at GM’s Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant in Michigan, and the vehicle is powered by the standard turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine.

New Colors for the 2027 Model Year
For 2027, GMC introduced Ink (G46) and Trailstone Green Metallic (GTM). These replace Crystal Metallic and Downpour Metallic from earlier model years.
Ink is a darker, sophisticated finish exclusive to Denali and Denali Ultimate models and priced at $495. Trailstone Green Metallic brings a fresh earthy green tone limited to the Elevation trim, also at $495. These updates give the Acadia a more modern and differentiated appearance while aligning with broader industry preferences for versatile neutrals and distinctive accents.
Cost of Optional Paint Colors
Only Summit White is included at no extra charge. Optional paints add the following to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (before destination, taxes, and other fees):
- Most metallics and Ink: $495
- Volcanic Red Tintcoat: $645
- Glacier White Tricoat: $1,095
These prices are consistent across available trims. Final pricing can vary slightly by dealer and region in the United States, so confirm with a local GMC dealer or the official configurator on GMC.com.
Choosing the Right Color for Your GMC Acadia
U.S. buyers often prioritize colors that balance style, resale value, and practicality. Neutral options such as Summit White, Sterling Metallic, and Ebony Twilight Metallic tend to appeal broadly and may help with future resale. Premium finishes like Glacier White Tricoat add visual depth and a higher-end appearance, especially on Denali models.
The AT4’s exclusive Riverstone Metallic complements its rugged black accents and all-terrain tires. Trailstone Green Metallic on Elevation offers a distinctive alternative for buyers seeking something less common. Volcanic Red Tintcoat provides the strongest pop of color for those who want their Acadia to stand out.
Consider your local climate and maintenance preferences—darker colors can show dust and swirl marks more readily, while lighter or metallic finishes often hide minor imperfections better between washes. Pair exterior paint carefully with available interior choices (After Dark, Gideon Gray, Forest Storm with Mahogany accents, Sheer/Very Dark Atmosphere, or Woodland Mahogany) for a cohesive look.
Interior Color Pairings Overview
While the focus is exterior paint, interiors also vary by trim. Elevation offers After Dark and Gideon Gray in cloth or CoreTec. AT4 features exclusive Forest Storm with Mahogany accents. Denali provides After Dark or Sheer/Very Dark Atmosphere perforated leather, and Denali Ultimate includes Woodland Mahogany full leather. Many exterior colors pair well with these cabin themes—check the GMC configurator for exact combinations.
