2026 Chevy Equinox Colors Chart
Exterior Color Options
There are eight exterior Chevrolet Equinox colors, with each trim level offering six of the eight colors for drivers.
- Summit White: A crisp, bright white, perfect for contrasting against the updated fascia of this generation's Equinox LT.
- Cacti Green: Make your ride stand out with a unique muted yet sheened green that is guaranteed to turn heads.
- Sterling Gray: Simple, sleek, and unforgettable. Sterling Gray gels beautifully with a metallic sheen, creating a futuristic exterior.
- Mosaic Black: Bring an understated shade to your SUV. Mosaic Black is the same shade as your grille and roof rails, crafting a cohesive exterior.
- Lakeshore Blue: This dark shade evokes the stability and serenity of a deep-water excursion, building a sturdy appearance.
- Radiant Red: An eye-popping, fiery exterior, Radiant Red emphasizes your accents and elevates your explorative spirit.
- Reef Blue: Exclusive on the RS and ACTIV, Reef Blue lightens up compared to Lakeshore Blue. An ocean-inspired color, the metallic sheen resonates like a sunset over the horizon.
- Polar White: Polar White hearkens back to Summit White without taking the same pure-white stance. Exclusive to the RS and ACTIV, this shade has slight graying, which makes it less intense than Summit White while providing a pleasing contrast with your accents.
2026 Equinox Roof Options
While there are eight main body colors for the Chevy Equinox, your model doesn't have to be a single color. As you can see from the Equinox pictures, all three trim levels are available with two-tone options.
- Mosaic Black Metallic (LT, RS): Pure, hardened black, this roof pairs to any color, creating an effective contrast while blending seamlessly with the window accents or available roof rails.
- Summit White (LT, ACTIV): A stunning shade sure to turn heads, Summit White elevates your roof in a fashion that pairs superbly with darker shades like Sterling Gray or Lakeshore Blue.
Exterior Summary
- There are eight colors to choose from, split up into six per trim.
- Summit White is only on the LS, while Reef Blue and Polar White require the RS or ACTIV trims to decorate.
- Like the images show, all eight options explore a variety of themes, like subtle gray shades or vibrant, eye-catching reds.
- In nearly all cases, you can pair your exterior with a contrasting roof, ensuring anyone can make a two-shade paint job of their Chevy Equinox.
Chevy Equinox Interior Color Options
While the exterior of this SUV is bold and diverse, the interior options are designed to elevate your cabin through simple, cohesive shades.
- Black: The standard Black shade for the LS can pair with cloth or Evotex upholstery. The dark coloration keeps your cabin cohesive, flowing from the center console to your seats and door panels in a pure, single color.
- Artemis Gray: Prefer a bit of contrast in the LS? Artemis Gray Evotex introduces lighter centers to your upholstery. While the seat sides remain a darker shade to better meld with the dashboard and center island, the seat centers and backs provide a pinch of contrast.
- Black with Red Accents: An almost sportlike shade for the RS level, the Black with Red accents comes exclusively with Evotex. As a result, the simple black interior is briefly accented by red stitching across the top of the seatback and sides of the chair, adding much-needed flair to a model with the most sport-inspired design.
- Black/Maple Sugar: Build your home for the off-road. Exclusive to the ACTIV trim, Black/Maple Sugar creates a forest within your SUV. Explore how the Maple Sugar shade blankets the seating, dashboard, and central console, and you'll soon see why most customers cite the ACTIV as the most homey Chevy Equinox trim.
Interior Summary
- There are four interior colors: Black, Artemis Gray, Black with Red Stitching, and Black with Maple Sugar accents.
- Black is available with cloth or Evotex, Artemis Gray and Black with Red stitching come exclusively with Evotex, and the ACTIV has sole access to the Black/Maple Sugar sueded microfiber.
- The LS may choose between three color-and-upholstery configurations. The RS and ACTIV only have a single option.
2026 vs. 2025 Chevy Equinox Colors
If you adored the 2025 Chevy Equinox facelift and are wondering if 2026 changed the formula, don't worry: the best 2026 Chevy Equinox colors come from last year's update. From Summit White to Radiant Red, nearly every exterior paint was available in 2025 and continues to be offered for 2026 models. However, Iridescent Pearl has been replaced with Polar White – a similar shade and theme, though Polar White is very slightly darker.
Compare Iradescent Pearl to Polar White or explore other colors in our all-new inventory online or at Carl Black Chevrolet of Nashville (if you happen to be in the area).
2025 vs. 2026 Summary
- The only significant change for 2026 is the replacement of Iradescent Pearl with Polar White.
