What colors the 2026 Honda Passport comes in

The 2026 Honda Passport is available in eight exterior colors: Sonic Gray Pearl, Meteorite Gray Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, Deep Ocean Blue Metallic, Radiant Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Autumn Bronze Metallic, and Olive Air Metallic. Not every color is offered on every trim level, and some colors carry an upcharge over the base price.

Honda updates its color lineup each model year, so the 2026 options differ from 2025. If you are shopping for a used Passport from an earlier year, the colors available will be different. The best way to see how each color looks on the actual vehicle is to visit a Honda dealership or check the official Honda website, where you can view the Passport in each color under different lighting conditions.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2026 Passport offers eight colors, with Sonic Gray Pearl and Meteorite Gray Metallic being the most common neutral options.
  • Metallic and pearl finishes typically cost more than solid colors, and the upcharge varies by dealership and region.
  • Color availability may vary by trim level—some colors are exclusive to higher trims or not offered on base models.
  • Dealerships can show you how each color looks in daylight and indoor lighting before you decide, and many allow you to special-order a specific color if it is not in stock.

Gray and neutral colors

Sonic Gray Pearl and Meteorite Gray Metallic are the two gray options for 2026. Sonic Gray Pearl has a lighter, cooler tone with a pearl finish that shifts slightly in different light. Meteorite Gray Metallic is darker and warmer, with a metallic sheen that gives it more visual depth. Both are popular choices because they hide dirt and minor scratches better than darker or lighter colors.

Crystal Black Pearl is the black option and has a deep, glossy finish with a subtle pearl effect. It shows dirt and water spots more easily than gray, but many buyers prefer its formal appearance. Platinum White Pearl is the white choice and offers a bright, clean look with a pearl coating that prevents it from appearing flat or dull.

Blue and red colors

Deep Ocean Blue Metallic is a rich, dark blue with metallic flakes that make it appear different depending on the angle and time of day. In bright sunlight it reads as a true blue; in shade it appears darker and more subdued. This color is less common than the grays but appeals to buyers who want something distinctive without being extreme.

Radiant Red Metallic is a bold, vibrant red with a metallic finish. It stands out in parking lots and traffic, and like all red vehicles it requires more frequent washing to maintain its appearance. Some dealerships stock this color less frequently because it has a narrower audience than neutral tones.

Brown and green colors

Autumn Bronze Metallic is a warm, earthy brown with metallic undertones. It is less common than gray or black but appeals to buyers who want a color that feels natural and outdoorsy without being as bold as red or blue. The bronze tone complements the Passport's rugged styling.

Olive Air Metallic is a muted, sage-green color that is new or refreshed for 2026. It sits between traditional greens and grays in tone and is designed to appeal to buyers seeking something unique. Like Autumn Bronze, it is less frequently stocked than neutral colors, so you may need to special-order it if you want it when ready.

How color affects price and availability

Most Honda dealerships charge an upcharge for metallic and pearl finishes compared to solid colors. The amount varies—typically between $300 and $600—but it depends on your region and the specific dealership. Sonic Gray Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl are usually the most expensive because they are popular and require more complex paint process.

Availability also depends on how recently the dealership received inventory. Popular colors like gray and black are usually in stock; less common colors like Olive Air Metallic or Autumn Bronze may require a special order. A special order typically takes four to eight weeks, depending on Honda's production schedule and your dealership's relationship with the factory.

Ordering a specific color if it is not in stock

If you want a color that is not currently on the lot, ask your dealership whether they can special-order it. Most dealerships can place a factory order for any color offered on the 2026 Passport, though you will need to commit to the purchase before the order is placed. The dealership will give you an estimated delivery date based on Honda's current production timeline.

Special orders usually require a deposit, which is typically applied to your final purchase price. Confirm the deposit amount, the estimated arrival date, and what happens if the vehicle does not arrive within that window. Some dealerships offer a price may provide on special orders; others reserve the right to adjust pricing if there is a significant delay.

Comparing colors in person before you buy

Paint color looks different under fluorescent showroom lighting, daylight, and at night. Before you commit to a color, ask the dealership to show you the Passport outside in natural light. If possible, visit at different times of day—morning light, afternoon light, and overcast conditions all reveal different aspects of the color.

If you are deciding between two colors, ask the dealership whether they have both in stock or can show you photos of the same model in each color. Some dealerships keep color sample panels or brochures that show how each color appears under different conditions. Taking photos of the vehicle in the color you are considering can also help you decide, because your phone's camera will capture the color more accurately than memory alone.
