2026 HD paint colors

64BAwagon · March 18

If you were looking for new colors for the 2026 models you will be disappointed.

out: GN0 Barb wire met

G1W Abalone white tri coat

New: G4J Polar white tricoat

G42 White sands solid

It also looks like the same restrictions across trim levels will exist so my new LT wont be Radiant red this time.

Everything else stays the same. The pearl tri-coat choice changes appears like a lateral move.

The one I dont understand is the loss of GN0 ? That seemed like a very popular color.

If you thought maybe the interior would get some color you were wrong. Theres only sadness and light sadness just like before.

GN0 was axed on 1500 Feb/Mar this year for ordering so not surprised its going on HD.

Hard to believe but they are still having supply issues on paints.

Apparently the start of regular production for the 2026 AND the refresh 2027's are quite fluid and have changed several times recently. The latest on the 2026 is August (I wouldnt hold my breath) and there is little to no change between 25 and 26.

Is that White Sands solid the same color that's on the 2026 Trailblazer? It's a nice color.

64BAwagon · March 24

It shows the same G42 code so I would say Yes

Is 'Elpo Grey' still available?

Also, isn't it great that w/o a colour chart, you have no idea what the colour is? I can't see a LEO describing the vehicle as being Barb Wire Metallic...

Yeah, the names are kinda silly and even change between the GMC and Chevrolet models.

Part of the reason I didnt wait for 2026 model to open up orders is because the colors werent changing and there are only a couple of very minor changes besides.

The colour names have differed since the 60s for all GM divisions.

You mean "Color" ?

Colour is the Canadian and British spelling.

Thanks, I realize that, I was just being sarcastic. I spell is SAE not Metric.

I ended up with a '24 2500 LTZ in black because the color options are not appealing. How many gray/white/red variants does the world need? The LTZ->HC bump wasn't worth it to me for the features (HC logo is also kind gaudy IMHO), but I'd pay that kinda delta for the color I want. Hint, GM, it's green. The supply chain argument is bullshit, there's money to be made.

I think its a combination of factors, minimize choices to speed production and thereby increase the HDs ability to bankroll the GM EV failures and supply chain is still wonky. Truth is it was getting wonky for many years before 2020.
