At Turan-Foley Cadillac, we spend a lot of time helping drivers dial in the details that make an OPTIQ feel like it was built for them. Color is one of the biggest ones. The OPTIQ’s design has sharp lines, athletic proportions, and signature lighting, so your paint choice can completely change the vibe, from understated luxury to bold, head-turning energy.
Below is a model-year-by-model-year guide to Cadillac OPTIQ exterior color options, starting with the newest information available. When Cadillac keeps the palette consistent across trims, we group it together. When certain colors are tied to specific trims or special editions, we call that out so you can shop smarter.
2026 Cadillac OPTIQ color options
For 2026, Cadillac’s OPTIQ palette centers around modern metallics, a high-impact red, and a premium white, with available two-tone pairings that add a contrasting black roof on many builds. (Availability can vary by trim and package.)
Here are the 2026 OPTIQ exterior colors you’ll commonly see across the lineup:
- Black Raven
- Argent Silver Metallic
- Celestial Metallic
- Coastal Blue Metallic
- Nimbus Metallic
- Monarch Orange
- Radiant Red Tintcoat
- Vibrant White Tricoat
Many of these are also offered with an available black roof (two-tone look), depending on configuration.
2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V exclusive colors and special-edition finishes
If you’re looking at the OPTIQ-V, Cadillac adds extra personality through limited-availability finishes and edition-themed looks. Cadillac specifically highlights Deep Ocean Tintcoat and Magnus Metal Frost in OPTIQ-V messaging and limited-edition callouts.
Notable OPTIQ-V exterior finishes called out for 2026 include:
- Deep Ocean Tintcoat (extremely limited and late availability is noted)
- Magnus Metal Frost (featured in Magnus Launch Edition content)
Depending on how you build, you’ll also see OPTIQ-V listed with black-roof pairings across multiple colors.
2025 Cadillac OPTIQ color options
The 2025 OPTIQ introduced a clean, premium palette with a strong mix of classic Cadillac shades and a couple of bolder picks depending on trim. Cadillac’s 2025 OPTIQ material breaks the color availability out by model/trim group, and that matters because some colors are tied to the Luxury vs Sport styling themes.
2025 OPTIQ colors shown for Luxury models include:
- Coastal Blue Metallic (and Coastal Blue Metallic with Black Roof)
- Argent Silver (and Argent Silver with Black Roof)
- Crystal White Tricoat (and Crystal White Tricoat with Black Roof)
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (and Radiant Red Tintcoat with Black Roof)
- Black Raven
- Celestial Metallic (and Celestial Metallic with Black Roof)
2025 OPTIQ colors shown for Sport models include:
- Monarch Orange (and Monarch Orange with Black Roof)
- Argent Silver (and Argent Silver with Black Roof)
- Crystal White Tricoat (and Crystal White Tricoat with Black Roof)
- Radiant Red Tintcoat (and Radiant Red Tintcoat with Black Roof)
- Black Raven
- Nimbus Metallic (and Nimbus Metallic with Black Roof)
2025–2026 color changes and what stayed the same
If you want the simplest “what changed?” answer, it’s the white.
- 2025: Crystal White Tricoat is part of the OPTIQ palette.
- 2026: Cadillac replaces Crystal White Tricoat with Vibrant White Tricoat.
Beyond that, the OPTIQ continues to lean on the same core identity—Black Raven, Argent Silver, Radiant Red, plus modern blues/metallics—while the OPTIQ-V introduces attention-grabbing, limited finishes like Deep Ocean Tintcoat and Magnus Metal Frost for shoppers who want the rarest look on the road.
How we help you choose the right OPTIQ color
When you’re picking an OPTIQ color, we like to narrow it down with a few quick “real life” questions:
- Do you want a color that hides dust and road spray well? Mid-tone metallics like Argent Silver and Nimbus Metallic tend to be low-stress day to day.
- Are you chasing the sharpest contrast with Cadillac’s lighting and trim details? Black Raven and Radiant Red Tintcoat both bring out OPTIQ’s angles in a big way.
- Do you want the cleanest premium look? The tricoat white options (Crystal White in 2025, Vibrant White in 2026) are the “dress-up” choices, especially when paired with a black roof.
And if you’re building an OPTIQ with the available black roof, we’ll walk you through which trims/packages support it so you don’t fall in love with a combo that isn’t offered on your exact configuration.
Conclusion
The Cadillac OPTIQ may be new to the lineup, but Cadillac didn’t treat color like an afterthought. The 2025 model year launched with a polished mix of metallics, a standout red, and Crystal White Tricoat, with available black-roof pairings that sharpen the whole profile. For 2026, the biggest shift is the move to Vibrant White Tricoat, and if you step up to the OPTIQ-V, you unlock ultra-limited, statement-making finishes like Deep Ocean Tintcoat and Magnus Metal Frost.
If you tell us the look you’re going for, we’ll match you with the right trim and color combo and help you track down the exact OPTIQ you want at Turan-Foley Cadillac.
