Eight exterior 2025 Chevy Colorado colors are available for buyers of the mid-size pickup to order, following the retirement of three exterior paints offered in 2024 – including Nitro Yellow Metallic (paint code GCP), Glacier Blue Metallic (pant code GLT) and Sand Dune Metallic (paint code GTL).
Meanwhile, three new Chevy Colorado colors are added to the palette, namely Snowdrift Metallic (paint code GAE), Reef Blue Metallic (paint code GAL) and Sunrise Orange (paint code GBF), viewable in the images below:
The 2025 Chevy Colorado colors include eight different exterior paints in all. Six of these are zero-charge colors that can be optioned at no additional cost. Two are extra-charge, one priced at $395 extra and the other, a tintcoat color, priced at $495.
Availability of the 2025 Chevy Colorado colors varies across trim levels.

While the 2025 model year isn’t the start of a new generation and doesn’t herald a mid-cycle refresh, it introduces a number of updates beyond the trio of new Chevy Colorado colors. On the mechanical front, GM has dropped the previously standard turbocharged 2.7L I4 L2R engine rated at 237 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque from the powerplant lineup, leaving just one engine on offer.
Meanwhile, aesthetic options have increased. New for 2025, the Midnight Edition package (RPO code WJP) costs $3,825 to $4,275 depending on whether it’s optioned for the Trail Boss, Z71 or ZR2 trim. We can also check out the WT Custom Package (RPO ST0) which, for an additional $1,145, equips the WT trim with black badges and high-gloss black 18-inch aluminum wheels (RPO code PZX).
Starting with the Trail Boss, the three top trims of the Colorado get new standard features for 2025. On the Trail Boss some of these are the sliding rear window (A28), rear defogger (C49) and cruise control (K34), while the Z71 gets 11 new features, such as an 8-way power driver seat (A2X), remote start (BTV) and the StowFlex tailgate (BPC).
The ZR2 trim is now equipped with both a suite of convenience features such as the heated steering wheel (RPO code KI3) and advanced safety tech including but not limited to rear cross traffic braking (UFB), rear park assist (UD7) and blind zone steering assist with trailering (UKW). Leather now replaces cloth and Evotex seating for the ZR2, while the exterior sports a bold high-relief TurboMax hood badge.
Pricing for the model ranges from the WT trim, which is priced at $33,495 for rear-wheel drive and $36,795 when configured with four-wheel drive. At the top end the ZR2 carries a $51,195 price tag in its bare-bones MSRP configuration with no optional add-ons. Cost for the truck rose $1,350 to $3,600 for 2025 based on trim level. The online configurator, which went live in March 2025, is available for builds and pricing.
The sole powerplant option for the 2025 Chevy Colorado is the Turbo High-Output 2.7L I4 L3B engine providing 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to the GM 8-speed automatic transmission, while both 2WD and 4WD are on offer.
For structure, the 2025 Chevy Colorado rides on the updated 31XX-2 platform. Production of the pickup is carried out at GM’s Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri, which also handles production of the GMC Canyon, the Chevy Express and the GMC Savana.
Comments
Harvest Bronze Metallic had so much potential, and it’s a complete flop. Straight poop. Could have been such a neat color.
To each, their own. I like it. Liked it when they put it on the first mid-engined Corvette. Love it in the Trax as well. And I like it here on the Colorado, which puts it to good use in the sunlight what with the multiple body lines stamped in the sheet metal. Those Corvette’s in “Zeus Bronze” (same hue as the Harvest) hold good resale dollar value as it is such a rare color.
Could be worse, right? It could be one of the 50 shades of Gray that GM has been shoving down our throats during the Barra Reign of Terror…..
Cannot really judge a color from a photo beyond an initial reaction of: good / bad. I can agree the color in the photos doesn’t look good. But I’ve seen the color in person. It’s pretty awesome.
As as aside, I have also had photo vs real world go the other way. Looked great in the photo, terrible in the real world.
Bottom line, always go look at your desired color choice in the real world before purchase.
Not offering Orange on the ZR2 is a huge mistake.
Again, photo vs real world. Photo, the Orange looks kind of good. Real world, looks like a school bus, yellow/orange, especially when parked next to a school bus. In other words, not a good color in my book. But, to each their own.
How about plain old Victory Red
Amen. I like black, red, and white.
I would love to see the Yellow Solar Flare back. If it gets back, I am order one!
