2026 Chevrolet Trax Colors: Paint Options and Availability

Color choice is a meaningful decision on the 2026 Chevrolet Trax, particularly because the Activ trim opens up two-tone exterior options not available on any other small Chevy SUV. This guide covers every color in the 2026 Trax lineup.

The Standard Color Palette

The 2026 Trax exterior color lineup includes Summit White (the standard non-metallic white), Mosaic Black Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Cypress Gray (a lighter warm gray new for 2026), Crimson Metallic (deep red), and Blue Glow Metallic. These six colors are available on every trim level from LS through Activ.

Summit White, Mosaic Black, and Sterling Gray are the three most-popular colors and the most-frequently stocked at Webb Chevy Oak Lawn. Cypress Gray is the new-for-2026 color and represents an alternative to the more familiar grays for buyers who want something slightly different.

Trim-Specific Colors

Activ adds two colors not available on other trims: Cacti Green (a vibrant true green that has become the signature Activ color) and Nitro Yellow Metallic (a bright yellow with strong visual presence). Both colors are exclusively available on Activ, including in the two-tone exterior options.

The Activ two-tone treatments pair the body color (Cacti Green or other Activ-specific shades) with a contrasting roof and accent trim in Mosaic Black. The Cacti Green over Mosaic Black combination is one of the most-distinctive small-SUV looks currently on the market.

Color and Long-Term Ownership

Conservative colors (Summit White, Mosaic Black, Sterling Gray) hold resale value best because they appeal to the widest buyer pool. Distinctive colors like Cacti Green or Nitro Yellow have narrower resale appeal but typically don’t sell for less at resale.

For South Chicago and Burbank winter conditions, lighter colors show road salt less visibly than darker colors. Practical color choice has marginal but real impact on how often you’ll wash the Trax during salt season.

Ordering a Specific Color at Webb Chevy Oak Lawn
