2027 Ford Expedition Platinum 30th Anniversary in Blue Ember Metallic on a Minnesota gravel road at golden hour

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.

What 2027 Expedition colors are new?

Morning sun
Overcast January
NewBronze Fire Metallic Tinted Clearcoat
H9

A deep, warm bronze that turns to molten copper in low sun and settles to a rich chocolate under a gray sky — the most chameleon paint in the lineup.

Statement color Hides dust well Premium paint

In Minnesota light: Bronze Fire rewards our long, low golden hours. On a fall gravel road at sunrise it glows like a new penny; under February overcast it reads as a rich, understated brown. The warm tone also does a quiet favor in our climate — light road dust and dried gravel splatter blend into it far better than they would on black.

Available on: Active, Tremor, Platinum, King Ranch

Overcast January
NewNocturnal Blue Metallic
C1

A deep navy with real metallic flake — classic and substantial in shade, brightening to a clear blue when the sun hits it directly.

Resale-safe Understated Premium paint

In Minnesota light: Nocturnal Blue is the safe-but-not-boring pick. It carries the presence of a dark color without the maintenance reality of black — water spots and dust show less than on a true black. Against fresh snow it looks sharp and deliberate; in summer it pairs naturally with chrome and bright trim.

Available on: Active, Tremor, Platinum

New · 30th Anniversary onlyBlue Ember Metallic
E1

The crown jewel of the 2027 palette — a dark, dramatic blue that reads near-black until light catches it, then flashes a rich, deep metallic blue.

Exclusive Statement color Premium paint

In Minnesota light: This is the one people will stop and ask you about. Blue Ember is only available on the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package, so it is genuinely rare — you will not see another one in the school pickup line. In low golden light it comes alive with blue depth; on an overcast day it carries the quiet authority of a near-black. If you want the most distinctive Expedition on the road, this is it.

Available on: Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package only

The rest of the 2027 Expedition palette

These five colors carry forward into 2027 — the proven, do-anything finishes that make up most Expeditions on the road around here.

Morning sun
Overcast January
Agate Black Metallic UM

A true deep black with a fine metallic sparkle in direct sun — the timeless, bold choice.

Statement color Resale-safe Shows dust

In Minnesota light: Black always looks sharp, and it pairs beautifully with the blacked-out Stealth packages. The honest trade-off in our climate: it shows road salt, dust, and water spots more than any other color, so plan on more frequent winter washes if you want it looking its best.

Available on: Every trim

Morning sun
Overcast January
Dark Matter Gray Metallic HY

A cool, deep charcoal with a blue undertone — modern and a little stealthy, especially on the higher trims.

Resale-safe Hides dirt well Low maintenance

In Minnesota light: One of the most practical colors you can pick here. Dark enough to look premium, light enough to hide a week of gravel dust and winter grime between washes. It reads charcoal on a gray day and shows its blue undertone in direct sun.

Available on: Active, Tremor, Platinum, King Ranch

Morning sun
Overcast January
Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat R7

A bright, premium silver-gray with a luminous tri-coat finish that almost glows in sunlight.

Hides dirt well Low maintenance Premium paint

In Minnesota light: The most forgiving color for our winters. Light silver-grays hide road salt, dust, and water spots better than almost anything, so it stays looking clean between washes. The tri-coat gives it real depth in sun, so it never looks flat or cheap the way a plain silver can.

Available on: Active, Tremor, Platinum, King Ranch

Overcast January
Tremor onlyMarsh Gray
T9

A warm, earthy green-gray with an outdoorsy, rugged character — the Tremor’s signature color.

Rugged look Hides dirt well Exclusive

In Minnesota light: If you ordered a Tremor, this is the color that looks the part. The warm olive-gray suits gravel roads, hunting land, and lake-cabin driveways, and it hides trail dust and dirt remarkably well. It is the only Expedition trim that can be ordered in Marsh Gray — pick it and your truck won’t be mistaken for anything else.

Available on: Tremor only

Morning sun
Overcast January
Star White Metallic Tri-Coat AZ

A rich, pearlescent white with a tri-coat depth that reads far more premium than a standard white.

Resale-safe Low maintenance Premium paint

In Minnesota light: The most popular full-size SUV color for good reason. White hides dust and water spots well, stays cooler in summer sun, and the tri-coat pearl gives it a glow that a flat white never has. A safe pick that never looks plain — and one of just three colors (alongside Agate Black and Blue Ember) you can pair with the 30th Anniversary Package.

Available on: Every retail trim

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.

What color is Blue Ember Metallic and how do I get it?

It is the most exclusive color in the 2027 Expedition lineup because it is only available on the Platinum 30th Anniversary Appearance Package.

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.
