What is the color of the RDX?
There isn’t a single color for the RDX—the model is offered in multiple exterior finishes, and the exact palette varies by year and region.
This article explains the general color families, how to verify the color on a specific vehicle, and what to do to confirm the exact shade and finish before purchase or delivery.
Current exterior color options
Below is a general overview of the exterior color families commonly offered for the RDX. Exact color names, finishes, and availability can vary by year, trim and region, so check the official configurator or dealer for the current lineup.
- Black
- White
- Silver
- Gray
- Blue
- Red
These broad color families cover most options you’ll encounter on recent RDX models; the precise names and finishes (such as pearl or metallic) will be shown in dealer listings or on Honda’s official site for your region.
Finish types to know
Beyond color, finishes influence how the shade appears in different lighting. Common finishes include solid, metallic, and pearl. Some pearl tones may be labeled as premium options and may require a higher trim level or add-on package.
How to confirm the exact color on a specific RDX
To determine the precise color of a specific RDX you’re considering, follow these steps to verify the color name and finish before purchase or delivery.
- Review the Monroney label (window sticker) or the dealer listing for the color name and option code.
- Look for the color code sticker on the vehicle (often in the door jamb or under the hood) and cross-reference it with Honda’s color catalog to confirm the finish.
- Use Honda’s official RDX configurator for the model year to select and preview the color, ensuring it’s available in your region.
- Request daylight photos or a physical color sample from the dealer if you’re evaluating a used or pre-owned RDX to confirm the shade.
By verifying color name, code, and finish, you can be confident you’re selecting the exact RDX color you want and avoid delivery surprises.
Regional availability and model-year changes
Color palettes can change year to year and by market. Honda may introduce new hues or retire older ones, and some finishes or trims may only be offered in certain regions or on specific packages.
Summary
The Honda RDX is available in multiple exterior colors rather than a single fixed shade. To know the precise color for a given vehicle, consult the dealer listing, check the color code, and use the official configurator for the model year and region. Always verify the exact finish (solid, metallic, pearl) to ensure you’re getting the intended look.
