The Cadillac Escalade has never been a one-size-fits-all SUV, and the paint palette is a big reason why. From classic blacks and whites that highlight Escalade’s bold lines, to premium metallics and deep tintcoats that look different in every kind of light, each model year brings its own personality. Below is our complete model-year guide to Escalade exterior color options, organized with the newest first and grouped when the published palettes match across multiple years.
(Note: availability can vary by trim, package, and limited-run editions. Premium paints are often offered as tintcoat or tricoat finishes.)
