If you are looking at 2027 Cadillac Lyriq colors, Blue Graphite Tricoat is the new exterior color to know about for 2027.[1] The other question is whether you want it with a black-painted roof.
I sell Cadillacs at Luxury Auto Mall in Sioux Falls. I know how easy it is to choose a color from a screen and then wonder if it will look the same in your driveway. Paint is personal, but there are a few practical things to check before you put a build together.
The short version is this. Blue Graphite is available across five 2027 Lyriq versions. The black roof is available as an option on the three non-V luxury trims listed below and comes standard on the Lyriq-V versions. The paint and roof are separate choices, so the build sheet matters more than the picture you saw online.[1]
The short answer on Blue Graphite
Blue Graphite Tricoat is a new exterior color for the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq. GM Authority lists it with paint code GXC and touch-up paint number WA-374M. It is listed for the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Signature Luxury, Lyriq-V, and Lyriq-V Premium trims.[1]
That gives you more room to choose the Lyriq you actually want. You do not have to move into the performance version just to get the new color. You can pair it with a regular Luxury trim, move up for more equipment, or choose a Lyriq-V if the performance side is the reason you are shopping.[1]
Cadillac’s official 2027 Lyriq page lays out the available trim structure and the build tools for the current model year. I would use that page for a starting point, then confirm the exact equipment on the vehicle or build you are considering.[2]
Blue Graphite is one of nine exterior colors listed for the 2027 Lyriq. The source also says every interior colorway offered on the applicable trims can be combined with Blue Graphite.[1] That is useful if you already have a particular cabin in mind. You are not locked into one interior just because you like this exterior.
What the black roof changes
On the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Signature Luxury trims, the black-painted roof is a separate option. GM Authority identifies it with RPO code 41T.[1]
The Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium include the black-painted roof as standard equipment, according to the same source.[1] That means the choice is different depending on which Lyriq you are building. On the regular luxury trims, you are deciding between a single-color look and a two-tone look. On the V versions, the black roof is already part of the package.
I like the black roof when the shopper wants the Lyriq to look lower and more distinct from the side. That is a style call, not a promise about how the vehicle drives. The roof does not turn a Luxury trim into a Lyriq-V. It just changes the way the body and roofline read when you walk up to it.
A body-color roof is the safer choice if you want the paint to carry the whole look. It is also the direction I would point someone who likes a quieter, more traditional appearance. Blue Graphite has enough personality on its own. It does not need a second color to make the Lyriq noticeable.
Neither choice is automatically right. I would look at both in person before deciding.
2027 Cadillac Lyriq colors by trim
The answer depends on what you want the vehicle to do for you. The color is offered on five versions, but each one creates a different buying conversation.[1]
Luxury
This is where I would start with most shoppers who like Blue Graphite but do not need to chase every upgrade. You can keep the roof body-color or add the black roof if the two-tone look is what caught your eye.[1]
Premium Luxury
Premium Luxury keeps the Blue Graphite option, with the black roof still a separate decision.[1] If the interior or audio equipment matters more to you than the exterior treatment, settle that first.
Signature Luxury
Signature Luxury also offers Blue Graphite, and the black roof remains an option.[1] I would judge the complete vehicle here. A dark exterior, roof, wheels, and interior can blend together in person even when the photo looks great.
Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium
These are the performance versions. Both are listed with Blue Graphite, and both include the black-painted roof as standard equipment.[1] If you are shopping a Lyriq-V, spend more time checking the performance equipment, seating, wheels, tires, and driving feel. The color should not distract from why you chose a V-Series Cadillac.
Is Blue Graphite worth choosing over the other colors?
There is no universal answer. The right color is the one you will still like after the novelty wears off.
I would ask four questions:
- Do you usually prefer dark colors, or do you get tired of keeping them clean?
- Do you want the roof and body to look like one shape, or do you like the two-tone break?
- Will you keep the vehicle for several years, or are you already thinking about how easy it will be to trade later?
- Does the interior you want work with Blue Graphite, or are you forcing the rest of the build around the paint?
Blue Graphite makes sense for the shopper who wants something more individual than a common black, white, or silver SUV without going into a loud color. That is my read on where it fits in the palette. It is still worth looking at the other eight choices before you decide, because the color on a phone is not the color in daylight.[1]
I would also look at the roof from the driver’s side, the rear three-quarter angle, and straight on from the front. A color can look very different depending on how much body you see and how the roofline catches the light.
What to check before you choose a build
Here is the simple checklist I would use with a shopper.
- Confirm the model year. Make sure the build is a 2027 Lyriq, not a photo or listing carried over from an earlier model year.
- Confirm the trim. Blue Graphite is listed on five versions, but the roof choice changes between the regular luxury trims and the Lyriq-V versions.[1]
- Ask for the paint code. GXC is the listed code for Blue Graphite Tricoat.[1]
- Ask whether the black roof is on the build. For the eligible non-V trims, look for RPO code 41T.[1]
- Look at the complete interior and exterior combination. Do not approve the paint from an isolated configurator image.
- Confirm current option pricing before you talk about a payment. The source lists the paint and roof as separate option decisions, but current figures can change.[1]
That last step matters. I am not going to put a hard dollar amount in this article and pretend it will still be right when you are ready to buy. It is better to check the exact build, current programs, trade value, and taxes together than to rely on an old screenshot.
You can use the official Cadillac LYRIQ page to review the current model-year information and start comparing builds.[2] Then I would look at a real vehicle in daylight before finalizing the exterior.
If you are still sorting out whether the Lyriq is the right size for you, my Cadillac EV lineup guide compares it with the Optiq, Vistiq, and Escalade IQ. My Cadillac Lyriq overview covers the larger questions around range, charging, size, and who the Lyriq makes sense for. Those are better places to start if the color is not your only question.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blue Graphite new for the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq?
Yes. Blue Graphite Tricoat is listed as a new exterior color for the 2027 Lyriq. The listed paint code is GXC, and the touch-up paint number is WA-374M. It is one of nine exterior colors listed for the model year.[1]
Which 2027 Cadillac Lyriq trims offer Blue Graphite?
Blue Graphite is listed for the Luxury, Premium Luxury, Signature Luxury, Lyriq-V, and Lyriq-V Premium trims. Confirm the color on the exact build or vehicle you are considering, especially if you are comparing a dealer listing with a factory configuration.[1]
Does the 2027 Lyriq black roof come standard?
The black-painted roof is listed as a separate option on the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Signature Luxury trims. The Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium include the black-painted roof as standard equipment.[1]
How much does Blue Graphite cost on a 2027 Lyriq?
The paint is a separate option, and the black roof is a separate option on eligible trims. I am leaving out a hard dollar figure because option pricing can change. Ask for the current price on the exact Lyriq build, then compare the complete payment rather than one line on an old article.[1]
Is Blue Graphite better than a body-color roof?
Neither is better for every shopper. Blue Graphite with a body-color roof gives you one clean exterior color. Adding the black roof creates a two-tone look. I would compare both combinations in daylight and choose the one that still looks right from several angles.
My recommendation
If I were helping someone choose from the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq colors, I would start with Blue Graphite if they liked the color and planned to keep the SUV for a while. I would choose the body-color roof for a cleaner appearance. I would add the black roof only if the two-tone look was the part they kept coming back to.
For a Lyriq-V, I would accept the standard black roof and focus on the rest of the vehicle. For a Luxury, Premium Luxury, or Signature Luxury build, I would confirm the trim, the GXC paint code, the 41T roof option, and the current price before signing off on anything.[1]
