The 2021 Chevy Colorado receives several small updates, comprised of a host of new features, including revised front and rear fascias, a new Chrome Appearance Package, two new wheel designs, as well as the addition of three new exterior colors: Cherry Red Tintcoat, Sand Dune Metallic, and Bright Blue Metallic. Here’s our first look at the new Bright Blue hue.
Availability
Assigned color code GLT and touch-up paint code WA-327E, Bright Blue Metallic is the only blue hue available for the 2021 Chevy Colorado. The prior model year, 2020 Colorado had two blue color options – Kinetic Blue and Pacific Blue – but neither were carried over into the 2021 model year. Bright Blue Metallic is also one of three metallic paint options offered for the 2021 Colorado.
A total of seven total exterior color options are available for the 2021 Colorado, including:
- Crush
- Satin Steel Metallic
- Summit White
- Black
- Bright Blue Metallic

To note, the model shown in the illustrations is the range-topping Colorado ZR2 pickup truck.
The new Bright Blue Metallic color is not included in the base price of the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado. Instead, it carries an additional cost of $395. Additionally, the new blue hue is available in conjunction with all interior color combinations and all trim levels.

About Chevrolet Colorado
The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup truck. It is currently Chevrolet's smallest pickup truck in the U.S. and Canada, slotting under the full-size Chevrolet Silverado. In Mexico, the Colorado slots above the compact Chevrolet Montana and the similarly-sized S10, but below the Silverado/Cheyenne (the name for some of Silverado's trim levels in Mexico).
The current Colorado was introduced in 2015 and represents the second generation of the Colorado nameplate. The model rides on the GMT-31XX platform shared with the GMC Canyon, as well as the international-market Chevrolet Colorado/S10 and Chevrolet Trailblazer.

The 2018 Chevy Colorado represents the fourth model year of the second-generation Colorado. The vehicle remains highly competitive in its segment, offering two gasoline engines and a diesel motor, which is a segment exclusive. The off-road-specific Colorado ZR2 was launched for the 2017 model year. However, the Colorado family continues to lack various features asked by many present and potential customers, such as a moonroof, a sliding rear window, as well as a range-topping LTZ or High Country trim level.
The 2019 Chevy Colorado represents the fifth model year of the second-generation Colorado. The vehicle sees a new Colorado ZR2 Bison package, new exterior colors, a new 18-inch wheel, black bowties for every ZR2 model. Additionally, the 2019 Colorado gets new set of infotainment systems that represent the third generation of Chevrolet infotainment systems, Type A and Type C USB ports, a second in-cabin microphone, a high-def Rear Vision Camera, UltraSonic Rear Park Assist, a heated steering wheel, and 6-way power driver seat on some models. The street-focused Colorado RST and Z71 Trail Runner off-roader are also added to the lineup. The manual transmission is deleted from the powertrain lineup.

A midcycle refresh is expected for the 2020 model year. It is believed that the update will bring revised front and rear styling, as well as possible updates to the interior, and powertrain.
For the U.S. and Canada, the Chevrolet Colorado is built at the GM Wentzville factory in Missouri operated by GM USA. The model sold in Asia-Pacific is built at the GM Thailand plant in Rayong, which is operated by GM Thailand. The GM Sao Jose Dos Campos plant operated by GM Brazil builds the Chevy S10 for South America.

This Blue looks fantastic. In fact, way too good for a General Motors vehicle. I think they should delete this color and add another shade of gray to the option list – – that way, people will easily recognize it as a typical GM vehicle.
GM is not alone with the color choices. Seems like 90% of vehicles today are white, black, or gray. I also think this blue looks great.
Eldo, keep acting out…some day you will be able to afford something better then your 20 year old oil burning Kia.
Bad guess ! All 4 of my vehicles are General Motors (3 of them are Chevys – – the oldest is a ’72 Monte Carlo). I accept your apology.
No apology forthcoming…this forum sounds more anti GM then pro GM lately.
Maybe because gm pisses people off with their cheap crap when we know they can do better.
Like what cheap crap? Oh, the ergonomically and durable full size truck interiors that aren’t dolled up luxury car interiors you mean? Yeah, no one listens to you anymore anyways. When you go over board on your cause people tend to hate that cause, same way it works with protestors and the blocking highways/roads and burning down businesses, same here with your crappy GM comments with little idea on the actual workings or reasoning for their decisions… Guess we can just let GM stock keep climbing and winning over fans with what really matters while people like shock pout in their basements trolling different manufacturer forums to feel better.
You are a laughable, whiney gm sheeple!
Haters Hate… Not a fan of GM, go elsewhere. Or get on board.
I own a 2018 kinetic blue Colorado zr2 .
Great truck , but the leather seats are not comfortable at all, look good but lacks any comfort, come on gm put some good foam in your leather seats.
My father-in-law’s only complaint with his Colorado is the seats.
Great trucks terrible seats
