2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV refines its visual presentation with a focused palette, mixing classic everyday tones, expressive brights, and two-tone contrast roof configurations. The biggest highlight for the model year is the addition of White Sands, replacing outgoing earthy hues to give the electric crossover a modern, upscale profile.
2027 Equinox EV Exterior Paint Lineup
- White Sands (New for 2027): A soft, premium warm neutral that sits between flat white and light beige. It emphasizes the smooth body paneling and flush surfaces of the Ultium platform without looking stark.
- Summit White: The traditional crisp, bright, non-metallic solid white. Clean and reflective, it keeps cabin heat soak to a minimum and serves as the standard fleet/base neutral.
- Black: A non-metallic, deep piano black finish. On the LT, it hides body seams and window pillars for a unified look; on the RS, it combines with the gloss-black front aero shield and dark trim for a full “blacked-out” aesthetic.
- Sterling Gray Metallic: A mid-tone graphite with fine metallic flake. It is one of the most practical finishes on the roster, masking road salt, rain spots, and brake dust well between washes.
- Riptide Blue Metallic: A vivid, electric mid-blue that shifts under direct sunlight. It leans sporty and highlights the crisp character lines along the doors and hood.
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (Premium Cost): A multi-layer candy red finish carrying a $495 premium. The tinted clear coat gives it noticeable depth, popping vividly on sunny days and leaning dark maroon in overcast conditions.
Two-Tone Contrast Roof Pairings
Chevrolet offers factory two-tone roof treatments depending on the selected grade:
- Summit White Roof (Available on LT): Provides a retro, floating-roof aesthetic. It pairs with mid-tone and vibrant shades like Riptide Blue Metallic or White Sands for visual separation.
- Black Contrast Roof (Available on RS & LT): Accentuates the raked rear roofline and makes the SUV look lower and longer. On RS models, combining a bright body (such as Radiant Red or Summit White) with the black roof, black badging, and 21-inch dark wheels creates maximum contrast.

- Black with Blue Accents (Standard LT): Cool blue stitching and subtle seat inserts that pair naturally with Riptide Blue, Sterling Gray, and Summit White.
- Black with Red / Adrenaline Accents (RS Trim): High-contrast red perimeter stitching, RS badges, and red HVAC vent surrounds—delivering a tailored sports aesthetic best complemented by Radiant Red Tintcoat, Black, or Summit White with the black contrast roof.
