The 2027 Ford Expedition arrives with eight exterior colors — and the big story is paint. Three colors are brand-new for 2027: Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Nocturnal Blue Metallic, and the Platinum-exclusive Blue Ember Metallic. The rest of the palette carries forward the deep, do-anything finishes that wear well on a central Minnesota Expedition.
Here is the part most color pages skip: a swatch in a studio tells you almost nothing about how a color actually looks in your life. The same paint that glows on a gravel road at sunrise can read completely different under a flat gray January sky in the school parking lot. So for every color below, we show you both — morning gravel-road sun on the left, overcast January on the right — the way you will really see it here in McLeod County.
Vehicle details for the 2027 Expedition come from the most current information Ford has released and can change as the model year progresses. We update this page as new details are confirmed — what you see here reflects what you can order right now.

Best 2027 Expedition colors for Minnesota
We sell and service Expeditions in McLeod County year-round, so we know how these colors actually hold up to our winters and gravel roads. Here is the honest, local take.
Easiest to keep clean
Glacier Gray Tri-Coat and Star White Tri-Coat. Light colors hide road salt and dust best, so they look clean longer between winter washes.
Most distinctive
Blue Ember (if you’re in a 30th Anniversary Platinum) or Bronze Fire. Both turn heads and you won’t see many on the road here.
Best all-rounder
Dark Matter Gray. Premium look, hides dirt, low maintenance, and strong resale — the color that does everything well.
Best for a Tremor
Marsh Gray. It’s exclusive to the Tremor and looks exactly right on gravel roads and hunting land.
2027 Expedition color FAQ
How many colors does the 2027 Ford Expedition come in?
The 2027 Expedition comes in eight exterior colors: Agate Black Metallic, Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, Marsh Gray, Nocturnal Blue Metallic, Star White Metallic Tri-Coat, and Blue Ember Metallic. Marsh Gray is exclusive to the Tremor, and Blue Ember is only available on the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package.
What colors are new for the 2027 Expedition?
Three colors are new for 2027: Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Nocturnal Blue Metallic, and Blue Ember Metallic. Bronze Fire and Nocturnal Blue are available across the regular trims, while Blue Ember is exclusive to the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package.
What color is Blue Ember Metallic and how do I get it?
Blue Ember Metallic is a deep, dramatic blue that reads near-black until light catches it, then flashes a rich metallic blue. It is the most exclusive color in the 2027 Expedition lineup because it is only available on the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package. If you want it, the 30th Anniversary Package is the only way to order it — reach out and we’ll walk you through that build.
Which Expedition color is best for Minnesota winters?
For easiest winter upkeep, light colors like Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat and Star White Metallic Tri-Coat hide road salt and dust best between washes. If you prefer a darker color, Dark Matter Gray is the most forgiving of the dark options. True black (Agate Black) looks sharp but shows salt and water spots the most, so it needs more frequent washing in winter.
What color is the Expedition Tremor available in?
The 2027 Expedition Tremor is available in seven colors: Agate Black Metallic, Bronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, Marsh Gray, Nocturnal Blue Metallic, and Star White Metallic Tri-Coat. The Tremor is the only Expedition that can be ordered in Marsh Gray, its signature warm green-gray.
