The Cadillac Celestiq slots in at the apex of the marque’s all-electric vehicle range as Caddy’s high-dollar, uber-luxury halo sedan, packed to bursting with top-shelf features. Customers have a huge variety of bespoke options at their disposal, making the Celestiq extremely customizable, as GM Authority was the first to report. Naturally, this extends to the paint color palette, and now, Cadillac is showing off six more Celestiq paint options.
Vixen Metallic
Santorini Blue
Nimbus Metallic
Aspen Metallic
Infrared Tintcoat
Siku Tricoat
Recently hitting social media, the new Cadillac post shows the Cadillac Celestiq in Vixen Metallic, Nimbus Metallic, Infrared Tintcoat, Santorini Blue, Aspen Metallic, and Siku Tricoat.
Perhaps the most striking shade of the six is Vixen Metallic, which presents a bright fuchsia finish that is sure to get noticed. Santorini Blue and Aspen Metallic are also quite memorable, showing off a shimmering blue and dark green, respectively.

Although these six Cadillac Celestiq paint colors are indeed eye-catching, they don’t quite live up to the shocking shade known as Venom captured late last year, which lends the luxury EV the appearance of glowing nuclear waste.
But of course, whether or not anyone else likes the paint finish is beyond the point. The Cadillac Celestiq offers customers a wealth of options when it comes to customization, and in fact, buyers can choose any color they want to make their sedan truly one-of-one.
A few other examples of custom Cadillac Celestiq finishes includes Habanero, as spotted in New York, Boysenberry Matte, as spotted in Rhode Island.
That said, the opportunity to build a Cadillac Celestiq to your exact specifications doesn’t come cheap. Prices start $340,000.
Venom
Under the custom paint and streamlined body pieces, the Cadillac Celestiq rides on the GM BEV3 platform and features a 111 kWh battery pack. Total system output is rated at 600 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. Each unit is assembled by hand at the GM Global Technical Center in Michigan.

Way out of my league, but this is starting to grow on me. Especially that Vixen color, that looks really good. Wish GM would offer cool colors on there more mainstream vehicles as I’m sick of all the white, black, grey, and blue vehicles.
It won’t be out of your league for long. This will probably be the fastest depreciating vehicle in the world. Lease it. It’s a $30,000 car in three years.
lol lease it…for only $9k/month.
It seems like the Aspen Metallic I’ve seen originally on a 1973 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon. 🙂
so here lime green, lowrider pink etc. according to GM posters yall should break your necks rushing to buy these awesome non grey 60s colors.
im waiting guys. how many did you buy in those hot colors
hmm eh right.
The lime green is ugly IMO. The fuchsia or “Vixen” as they call it looks amazing. Honestly, do you think the current slate of white, black, blue, red, and grey offered by most manufacturers are good? Not saying they have to offer loud lime greens and yellows on every car, but what about a nice dark green or a fuchsia/purple?
suburban is available in green no.. historically gm has offered green of some sort. hardly ever sold. usually went to fleet sales for park services
having to do bodywork with todays prices i can tell you that plain jane easy to match colors are what you should certainly be going for!
Whow! What a car!
When will GM bring that to Europe?
Put Vixen in the same category as the early-release colors. Hideous. As is the car itself, which shouldn’t exist. Who with half a brain is going to drop $340K on a Cadillac? Boy, management must have been spaced out big time on something when this was green-lighted.
Cadillac is having a straight-up identity crisis (as always) a huge missed opportunity here and just so close to almost having a striking design but instead is this pieced together junk. The rear end is horrific and not even graceful, odd plastic looking stuck on trim etc; The head old fart 80’s leftover designer and decision maker there really needs to be rolled out to the pasture and left there. It’s pitiful that Buick and Chevy’s designers have a better design sense. Cadillac is officially dead. Sad.
You did it, Mary. You built the first $300K fugly station wagon!!
This is the fugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen. $300K never.
Between this ugly thing and that pig of a Hummer EV, gm is making the most expensive status symbols that nobody wants or cares about.
If gm is depending on a shocking color to sell this high-end / halo car, then it is already a dismal failure.
lol people log into this website just to shed hate and repeatedly cry about what gm does… my question is if everything gm does is so bad then why are you here or why do you buy the gm vehicles ? 😂 foh
If you notice, people hate on a vehicle they can’t afford that is low volume with a high asking price. Just sad because there are more things important in life.
I’m a GM retiree and I want them to be successful. Spending hundreds of millions if not billions on a car that has absolutely no chance of being a financial success is troubling. What is going through Mary’s mind approving this monstrosity?! It’s not hating on something when you’re making a valid point. It’s ugly, electric and it’s way underpowered for a flagship vehicle that costs $300,000! It should have 1000hp minimum. Tesla Plaid, Lucid Sapphire will leave this thing in the dust for half the price.
I’ve had some great GM vehicles in the past and would like to continue buying great cars that I like from them. I’m passionate about cars and it’s a lifelong hobby. The minute I stop posting here completely is the minute complete apathy towards gm and the hobby set in. If they/we continue down this absurd all EV path, that moment is coming soon.
I’m here because I married into a GM family and we have had GM vehicles for a long time as a result. Walking away from them means missing out on discounts I can’t get with other manufacturers.
Which is also why I can complain and hate on the new vehicles GM is choosing to make, color options, or overall strategy changes that will impact my future purchases.
My only issue about the celestiq is where’s the 60k Chevrolet version ( caprice ev ) or bel air ev.
Holy Mother of Aztek! What was GM thinking?
There are not THAT many rich pimps wanting hideous Caddy wheels in neon colors.
I would think the color wheel is endless being Cadillac will not refuse any color. You could pick from the 1950’s to 1970’s color charts to find your fav. Apollo Yellow anyone? Coral? Why not a remake of the 1927 “Nature Studio” series?
Cadillac made spectacle colors in the past, like Heather, Astral Blue ,Fawn Gold , Matador Red , Inverness Green…My Diamond Pearl Cadillac is beautiful.
I don’t dislike (hate in conformer speak) high price low volume anything. But if it’s ugly, senseless or whatever, I have every right to dislike it. I do think it will be very sensitive to color choice for a good or bad look. But a restyle of the rear would also help.
Wow, really ugly! Yuck!
Hideous in any colour!
Here is a simple question that all on this site can ponder and possibly reply with a simple “yes or no”, and although I know that this might not be a realistic question to some, I’d still like to hear back how everyone feels about the newest Caddywhen compared to other vehicles costing in the same ballpark figure.
Ready….here goes. If you were given $350,000 and asked to go out and spend ALL of this money on an EV of your choice, how many realistically would go out and purchase this Caddy EV, or would you consider purchasing another high end EV of comparable cost, say from England (Rolls Royce, Bentley) or maybe Germany (Mercedes, Maybach) or, name your choice.
So what will this prove? I believe a large cross section of Luxury EV buyers with that much money to spend on a HIgh End Luxury EV would serouly NOT consider the new $340,000 Caddy EV. My contention also is that, while this may be the very best Cadillac vehicle ever made, that extremely high price, no matter how great a vehicle this Caddy might be, will never be seriously considered by those who not only have the cash but…would never consider a Cadillac at any price. ‘Nuff said.
I’d agree with that statement to a point. For the price of the Celestiq, I’m going to want a BRAND that evokes uber luxury and exclusivity.
But there is a subculture of people who have the money to afford this and will buy it just to say look at me. They aren’t into BRAND as much as they are about being different and wanting attention.
Many people still consider Cadillac a prestige vehicle .
In its history it was ” The American Standard Of The World ” in technology, reliability, and design..
Clunky Rolls Royce post war could not touch them….
It was only when GM began cutting Cadillac budgets & quality did that change.
Mostl rich people are well aware of Cadillacs legacy.
The first thing I thought when I saw this article was Cadillac wanted to prove this car is still happening in spite of Polestar and other bad EV headlines. I’m guessing if you can afford this car, you probably have at least five others that are more practical and you don’t get range anxiety. I like the attempt to modernize the two box design from Cadillacs of the 20s and 30s, but I’d have to reserve judgement, good or bad, until I saw one up close.
The 1947 Cadillac Sedanette was a similar departure from conventional styling of the period.
While it has aged well, IMHO, the Celestiq won’t. It’s awkward, forced and lacking elegance….with a rear bumper from a delivery truck.
One more quick thought here, being a retired GM employee, I know that we’ve always had to deal with “the numbers”, and those “numbers” always ended up being “how many units we can sell in that segment of the market that’ll retain a certain profit level”, and here is where I think the new EV Caddy, sadly is going to be a loser for GM/Cadillac Division. Personally speaking I don’t see anywhere near a need for that costly of an (estimated) MSRP, but GM has been known for blowing through various entities that either have a “lowest estimate” or a “parts supply problem” through out the years, and I don’t believe that building a “hand built” vehicle in low numbers is going to make this job any easier, in fact I believe it’s going to be a dismal failure on so many levels, because it’s just not the way that “GM rolls” (no pun intended), units out the plant door has been a GM mantra as long as I worked for GM (almost 40 years) and I can’t see things changing just for the sake of “showing off”. However, in truth, GM has built some “limited numbered Cadillac vehicles” over the years but their numbers of units sold would probably be way more than the newest EV Caddy will ever be able to attain, but we’ll wait and see.
PS…I’d love to see Caddy make a Home Run while producing a competitive vehicle for the world to enjoy, and in the past they’ve done this exact feat a few times, but…it’s a different world out there, soooo competitive, good luck, Cadillac!
Don’t worry about what color it comes in ITS UGLY in any color .This should have been a proto type that never got made.A Cadillac lol…. Pontiac Aztec was better had character,was famous too lol.Who are these designers that Cadillac sayes let’s make this.Hopefully the sales figures will end this Car SUV crossover station wagon whatever yikes..
As ugly as it is, it almost looks good in pink!
With gm struggling to introduce their much-hyped mainstream EV products with decent quality and quantity why are they allocating much needed resources to a show piece projects such as this? Frankly, the Hummer EV isn’t much better in terms of questionable resource allocation.
This and other strategic and executional fails calls into question where their leadership priorities are…and judgement. This operations stuff falls mainly in Reuss’s arena.
Yes, Celestiq is a little different looking from the norm. Perhaps there needs to be a full line of body styles to round out the Celestiq brand. If I had about a million or three or so dollars just laying around doing nothing, I’d commission Pininfarina to redesign the body and interior to clean up the rough look of the current model. Best of all, Cadillac can’t deny me because they have to honor my requests without question. Celestiq deserves a full line: notchback sedan, coupe, roadster, targa sports coupe, convertible coupe and sedan, you get the idea. Cadillac is only trying to recapture that spirit it once had in the 1930’s. Nothing wrong with that.
The execution is all wrong. And maybe the motive behind it, an ultra expensive ev. For the money, I would like something that drips character, not lacks it. The only ev I’ve seen that shows any character at all, in my opinion, is the Honda E sold in Europe.
