The short answer
Passport Exterior Options
The 2027 Honda Passport features eight exterior paint options, including three standard shades and five premium metallic or pearl finishes. You can choose from Black, Gray, or Brown interior upholstery, though specific availability for both paint and cabin colors is determined by your chosen trim level.
Updated November 2026 by Atlantic Coast Honda
The 2027 Honda Passport comes in eight exterior colors: three standard shades (Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and Smoke Blue Pearl) and five premium shades (Platinum White Pearl, Sunset Orange, Ash Green Metallic, Radiant Red Metallic II and Sonic Gray Pearl). Inside, the choices are Black, Gray and Brown, but which ones you can get depends on both the trim and the paint. The new color for 2027 is Smoke Blue Pearl, which replaces Obsidian Blue Pearl and is offered on every trim.
Around Jacksonville, paint and upholstery are more than a style decision. Summer sun bakes parked cars, beach days in St. Augustine bring sand into the cabin, and salt air is part of daily life near the coast. Below you will find the trim-by-trim combinations for 2027, followed by our staff's practical take on choosing one.
Colors
What's new in the 2027 Passport color lineup?
The headline paint change is Smoke Blue Pearl, which takes the place of Obsidian Blue Pearl. Honda notes that the color debuted on the 2026 Honda Pilot, and on the Passport it is available on every trim. Honda has not said whether any other color left the lineup this year.
TrailSport models also look different regardless of paint, with more pronounced fender flares front and rear, a resculpted lower front fascia and a pair of amber LED hood scoop lights. Those hood scoop lights are designed to complement the Passport's amber daytime running lights. The changes are not only cosmetic, either: the 2027 TrailSport now offers 9.65 inches of ground clearance.

Which paint and interior pairings does each trim offer?
Honda offers the 2027 Passport in six trims: RTL, RTL Towing, TrailSport, TrailSport Blackout, TrailSport Elite and TrailSport Elite Blackout. Each pair below has identical paint and interior options.
| Exterior color | RTL and RTL Towing | TrailSport and TrailSport Blackout | TrailSport Elite and Elite Blackout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modern Steel Metallic | Black | Black | Black |
| Crystal Black Pearl | Black | Black | Black or Brown |
| Smoke Blue Pearl (new) | Gray | Black | Gray |
| Platinum White Pearl | Black or Gray | Black | Black, Gray or Brown |
| Sunset Orange | Not offered | Black | Black or Brown |
| Ash Green Metallic | Not offered | Black | Black, Gray or Brown |
| Radiant Red Metallic II | Black | Black | Black |
| Sonic Gray Pearl | Black or Gray | Black | Black or Gray |
A few patterns jump out. Six colors are offered on every trim: Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, Smoke Blue Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic II and Sonic Gray Pearl. Radiant Red Metallic II and Modern Steel Metallic come only with a Black interior, whichever trim you choose. Sunset Orange and Ash Green Metallic are reserved for the TrailSport family, and neither is offered on the RTL or RTL Towing. On the RTL and Elite trims, Smoke Blue Pearl comes only with a Gray interior, while TrailSport and TrailSport Blackout versions pair it with Black.
What are the interior colors and seat materials?
Across the 2027 Passport lineup, interiors come in Black, Gray and Brown. Seat materials and color choices shift as you move up the lineup:
- RTL and RTL Towing: leather and cloth seats, in Black or Gray depending on the exterior color.
- TrailSport and TrailSport Blackout: durable HondaTex and cloth seats with TrailSport orange stitching and accents.
- TrailSport Elite and Elite Blackout: the widest interior choice, with Black, Gray or Brown available depending on the paint.
In Northeast Florida, where a dark seat in July humidity gets uncomfortable fast, the interior color deserves as much thought as the paint. Honda describes the TrailSport's HondaTex seats as durable, which suits a family that comes home from the beach with damp towels and sandy feet.
The lineup
How do the Blackout trims change the look?
The Blackout Package is available on all TrailSport trims, and for 2027 it adds new black front and rear fascias. Those fascias match the package's black 18-inch alloy wheels and Honda badges.
Blackout trims follow the same paint and interior rules as their non-Blackout twins, so a TrailSport Blackout in Sunset Orange still comes with a Black interior. The black fascias and wheels contrast most with lighter paints such as Platinum White Pearl and Sonic Gray Pearl.
Decision guide
Which Passport color fits your Jacksonville driving?
Color is personal, but in Northeast Florida a few practical priorities tend to decide it. Pick the path that sounds most like you.
You want the coolest car in an open lot
Lighter paints reflect more sunlight, so Platinum White Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic or Sonic Gray Pearl can help a parked Passport feel a bit less like an oven after an afternoon in the sun. A Gray interior, offered with several paints on the RTL and Elite trims, usually stays more comfortable than Black after the car sits in the sun. Narrow your list to those trims and paints, then sit in each interior on a warm afternoon.
You want the trail-ready look
Sunset Orange and Ash Green Metallic are the colors that most clearly signal a TrailSport, and neither one is offered on the RTL. Start with a TrailSport or TrailSport Elite, then decide whether the Blackout fascias and wheels suit the shade you picked.
You want a finish that hides a beach week
Crystal Black Pearl looks sharp, but black shows salt spray, pollen and water spots quickly, so it rewards owners who wash often. If you would rather wash less, compare the metallic grays and Smoke Blue Pearl outdoors, because Florida sunlight changes how pearl and metallic paints read compared with showroom lighting.
