New Colors for the 2027 Model Year
Cadillac refreshed the Optiq’s color lineup with four additions that expand both everyday appeal and exclusivity.
Citron Tricoat (GXJ) is a vibrant light-green tricoat finish available on Sport, Premium Sport, and Optiq-V trims for $1,325. It is not offered on Luxury or Premium Luxury models.
Sandstone (G42) brings a warm beige/gold tone suited to the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims, priced at $725 (or higher with black roof).
Deep Ocean Tintcoat (G3Y) is a rich blue reserved exclusively for the Optiq-V as part of the limited Deep Ocean Design Edition package. It pairs with a black roof and is noted for extremely limited availability.
Midnight Stone Frost (GNW) is a premium matte-style gunmetal finish exclusive to the Optiq-V at $3,995, also with late and limited availability.
Color Availability and Pricing by Trim
Availability is trim-specific, which is important for U.S. shoppers configuring online or at dealers.
- Luxury and Premium Luxury: Strong options include Black Raven ($0), Argent Silver Metallic ($725), Coastal Blue Metallic ($725), Sandstone ($725), Radiant Red Tintcoat ($1,325), and Vibrant White Tricoat ($1,325). Black roof adds cost on most.
- Sport and Premium Sport: Access to Monarch Orange ($725) and Citron Tricoat ($1,325), plus shared colors like Black Raven, Argent Silver, Radiant Red, and Vibrant White.
- Optiq-V: Broadest selection including exclusives like Deep Ocean Tintcoat (package-included), Midnight Stone Frost ($3,995), and black-roof versions of most colors. Black roof is standard.
Exact pricing and packages can change slightly by region or inventory; checking the official Cadillac configurator or a local dealer is recommended for the latest figures.
Black Roof and Two-Tone Options
A painted black roof (RPO 41T) is a popular enhancer for visual contrast. It is standard on Optiq-V models and available as a $600 option on other trims when paired with many exterior colors. Two-tone combinations raise the effective price of some paints (for example, certain tricoats with black roof reach $1,925). This option complements the Optiq’s sleek proportions and is frequently shown in official imagery.
Interior Color Pairings
While the focus is exterior, interior choices coordinate closely. Base trims offer Black or Sky Cool Gray with Santorini Blue accents in Inteluxe seating. Higher trims add Autumn Canyon and Phantom Blue (often with PaperWood décor), while the Optiq-V features specialized Black or Sky Cool Gray treatments with carbon fiber and optional Santorini Blue accents. Most exterior colors pair flexibly with these interiors.
Choosing the Right Color for Your 2027 Optiq
For understated luxury, Black Raven or Argent Silver Metallic deliver classic Cadillac elegance with easy maintenance. Eye-catching choices like Citron Tricoat, Monarch Orange, or Radiant Red Tintcoat stand out in urban or coastal U.S. settings. Premium buyers seeking exclusivity often gravitate toward the Optiq-V’s Deep Ocean Tintcoat or Midnight Stone Frost packages. Consider local climate, resale preferences, and how the color interacts with available wheels (20- or 21-inch designs in various finishes) when deciding.
U.S. shoppers can explore real-time configurations on Cadillac.com, where 360-degree views and gallery images showcase many of these finishes. Production occurs at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, supporting strong availability for the North American market.
