Few moments in the ownership journey are as exciting as commissioning a new Aston Martin.
The process goes far beyond selecting a model and choosing a paint colour. Every Aston Martin is an opportunity to create something deeply personal. From heritage-inspired racing greens to cutting-edge colour-shifting finishes, from hand-stitched semi-aniline leather to bespoke carbon fibre detailing, the possibilities for personalisation have never been greater.
For the 2027 Model Year, Aston Martin has introduced one of the most comprehensive and technically advanced Colour & Materials programmes in the brand's history. Alongside several stunning new exterior finishes, customers can choose from an extensive palette of interior leathers, Alcantara environments, contrast stitching, wheel finishes, brake caliper colours, carbon fibre treatments and bespoke Q by Aston Martin options.
At HWM Aston Martin, we guide customers through this process every day. Whether you are configuring a DB12, Vantage, DBX S, Vanquish or the revolutionary Valhalla, this guide explores every aspect of the 2027 Colour & Materials collection and highlights how thoughtful specification choices can transform an Aston Martin into something truly unique.
What's New for Aston Martin 2027 Model Year?
The 2027 Model Year introduces some of the most exciting additions to the Aston Martin palette in recent years.
The headline newcomers include Trophy Green within the Racing Line collection and four new Q Special colours: Cetus Blue, Antares Orange, Volans Black and Emerald Night. The Q Ultra category also gains the extraordinary Aegean Jade, while Dark Blue joins the brake caliper range. Aston Martin has simultaneously expanded the availability of Q Ultra finishes across more model lines, giving customers access to some of the most advanced paint technologies available anywhere in the automotive world.
These additions continue Aston Martin's commitment to creating finishes that balance heritage, performance and modern luxury.
Understanding Aston Martin's Paint Categories
Unlike many manufacturers, Aston Martin does not simply offer a list of colours. Instead, every finish belongs to a carefully curated category designed to express a specific aspect of the brand's identity.
Solid & Metallic
The Solid & Metallic collection provides the foundation of the palette. These finishes are clean, timeless and designed to showcase the sculptural form of Aston Martin's sports cars and SUVs. Colours such as Lunar White, China Grey, Volcano Red, Concours Blue and Midnight Blue sit within this collection.
Signature Metallic
Signature Metallic colours elevate traditional metallic paint technology with increasingly sophisticated pigment structures, creating exceptional depth, sparkle and light movement. These paints are designed to deliver a richer visual experience while retaining timeless elegance.
Racing Line
The Racing Line collection celebrates Aston Martin's motorsport heritage. These colours are bold, energetic and unmistakably performance-focused. They include Podium Green, Sprint Green, Elwood Blue and the new Trophy Green.
Provenance
Provenance colours reconnect modern Aston Martins with some of the most important shades in the company's history. Many date back decades and have been reformulated using contemporary paint technology.
Icon
The Icon collection contains some of Aston Martin's most famous colours, many of which are closely associated with James Bond and other landmark moments in popular culture.
Q Special
Q Special paints represent Aston Martin's bespoke world, using advanced pigment systems and specialist application techniques to create truly extraordinary finishes.
Q Ultra
At the pinnacle sits Q Ultra, the most technically advanced paint category Aston Martin has ever produced. These finishes use cutting-edge pigment technologies that create dynamic colour shifts and dramatic visual effects unlike anything found in conventional automotive paint.
The Complete Exterior Colour Collection
The Modern Classics
Colours such as Jet Black, Lunar White and China Grey remain among the most popular specifications because they perfectly highlight Aston Martin's design language.
Jet Black offers pure simplicity and dramatic presence, while China Grey has become synonymous with Aston Martin's modern sporting character. Lunar White remains one of the cleanest and most contemporary finishes available.
Signature Metallic Excellence
The Signature Metallic range includes some of Aston Martin's most sophisticated finishes.
Onyx Black introduces metallic depth to traditional black paint. Lightning Silver continues to be a customer favourite thanks to its bright, elegant appearance. Magnetic Silver, originally launched with the DB11, remains one of the finest examples of modern automotive silver. Meanwhile, Xenon Grey, Plasma Blue, Malachite Green and Chimera Blue showcase the extraordinary possibilities of contemporary metallic technology.
Racing-Inspired Statements
Customers seeking a more extrovert specification are often drawn towards the Racing Line palette.
Podium Green links directly to Aston Martin's Formula One programme and official FIA safety vehicles. Sprint Green is among the brightest and most energetic greens ever offered by the marque. Elwood Blue references Aston Martin's Nürburgring success, while Ultra Yellow and Synapse Orange ensure maximum visual impact.
The new Trophy Green deserves special attention. Inspired by the Valkyrie Le Mans programme, it combines rich dark green tones with exceptional metallic depth, creating a finish that reveals new details every time the light changes.
Heritage Through Provenance
Few manufacturers possess Aston Martin's heritage, and the Provenance collection celebrates it beautifully.
Buckinghamshire Green dates back to the Virage of the late 1980s. 1959 Racing Green honours the legendary DBR1 Le Mans winner. Caribbean Blue Pearl recalls classic DB4 and DB5 models, while California Sage, Chiltern Green and Black Pearl each represent significant moments in Aston Martin's history.
The James Bond Connection
The Icon collection remains one of the most fascinating areas of the Aston Martin palette.
Quantum Silver first appeared on the DBS in Quantum of Solace. Tungsten Silver became famous on the Vanquish in Die Another Day. Casino Royale takes its name directly from the film, while Silver Birch remains forever linked to the DB5 from Goldfinger.
Q Special: Bespoke Paint at its Finest
The Q Special collection offers customers access to some of Aston Martin's most striking finishes.
Supernova Red was originally developed for the DBS GT Zagato. Digital Violet introduces a futuristic interpretation of luxury performance. Aura Green combines motorsport influence with sophistication, while Bronze Flare evolves the beloved Solar Bronze formula into something even richer and more refined.
New Q Special Colours for 2027
The new additions are among the highlights of the entire 2027 range.
Cetus Blue delivers a luminous celestial-inspired blue with remarkable elegance.
Antares Orange offers layered orange and copper undertones with exceptional depth.
Volans Black introduces purple shimmer effects hidden within a deep black finish.
Emerald Night combines black and dark green metallic tones to create a finish that appears mysterious by night and mesmerising in bright sunlight.
Q Ultra: The Pinnacle of Paint Technology
Q Ultra represents Aston Martin's most advanced colour programme.
Using Chromaflair and SpectraFlair technologies, these finishes actively shift colour depending on light conditions and viewing angle.
Verdant Jade transitions through green, gold and blue tones. Andromeda Red blends deep reds with copper and blue undertones. Spectral Silver creates a prism-like iridescence, while Phoenix Black transforms from molten bronze to rainbow-like highlights. Veles White introduces subtle blue and green spectral shifts.
The new Aegean Jade may become one of the most desirable colours Aston Martin has ever offered. Inspired by the Aegean Sea, it balances blue and green tones in a finish that constantly evolves with movement and changing light.
Livery and Accent Colours
For customers wanting an even more individual look, Aston Martin offers a dedicated livery accent palette.
Options include Photon Lime, Digital Violet, Copper Bronze, Electric Blue, Cyber Magenta, Supernova Red, Sprint Green, Podium Green and many more. These colours can be used within graphics packages to create motorsport-inspired liveries or subtle bespoke detailing.
Wheel Finishes: A Major Styling Decision
Wheel finishes can dramatically alter the personality of an Aston Martin.
For 2027, customers can choose from:
Satin Black remains a favourite among performance-focused buyers, while Liquid Titanium and Satin Platinum deliver a more luxurious aesthetic. Satin Copper Bronze has become increasingly popular on green and silver exterior specifications, creating a subtle but distinctive contrast.
Brake Calipers: The Finishing Touch
The brake caliper palette has expanded significantly.
Traditional choices such as Black, Silver, Red and Yellow remain available, alongside more distinctive finishes including Aston Martin Racing Green, AMR Lime, Vivid Blue, Vivid Orange, Vivid Red and the newly introduced Dark Blue.
For many customers, brake calipers provide the ideal opportunity to introduce a subtle accent colour that complements both the exterior paint and interior stitching.
Exterior Carbon Fibre, Bodypacks and Badging
The personalisation opportunities extend beyond paint.
Customers can specify exterior bodypacks in gloss black, gloss or satin carbon fibre, and several tinted carbon fibre finishes including Petroleum Blue, Stirling Green and Red. These finishes create a distinctive technical appearance while enhancing the car's sporting character.
Badging choices include:
Each creates a subtly different personality and level of visual contrast.
Interior Design: Creating the Perfect Cabin
While exterior colour attracts attention, the interior is where owners spend their time.
Aston Martin's 2027 interior palette is one of the most extensive in the luxury automotive industry.
Semi-Aniline Leather
Customers can choose from an extraordinary range of leather colours.
Classic choices include Onyx Black, Phantom Grey and Oxford Tan. Contemporary options include Metallic Black, Aurora Blue, Blue Haze Metallic, Bison Brown, Sage Green and Ice Mocha. Special Q colours extend the palette even further with Deep Purple, Glacier White, Navy Blue, Forest Green, Titanium Grey Metallic, Electron Yellow and AMR Lime.
Alcantara Environments
Performance-oriented buyers often choose Alcantara environments.
Available colours include Black, Phantom Grey, Bison Brown, Dark Knight, Oxford Tan, Chancellor Red, Sage Green, Blue Haze and Mocha. These interiors provide a sportier character while retaining Aston Martin's luxury standards.
Interior Trim Inlays
The trim inlays contribute enormously to the atmosphere of the cabin.
Available finishes include:
Each creates a very different visual and tactile experience.
Interior Jewellery Finishes
Even the smallest details can be customised.
Customers can choose from Satin Silver, Satin Chrome, Dark Satin Chrome and specialised carbon fibre jewellery treatments depending on model. These finishes affect switchgear, controls and decorative trim elements throughout the cabin.
Stitching, Embroidery and Detail Personalisation
One of Aston Martin's greatest strengths is the ability to personalise interior details.
The 2027 programme includes dozens of thread colours ranging from subtle Ivory and Oxford Tan to vibrant AMR Lime, Electron Yellow, Quasar Blue and Eclipse Red. Embroidery can be matched or contrasted to create anything from understated elegance to dramatic motorsport-inspired interiors.
Seatbelts, Carpets and Headlinings
The final layer of personalisation comes through the supporting materials.
Customers can choose multiple carpet colours including Obsidian Black, Phantom Grey, Oxford Tan, Blue Haze, Dark Knight, Spicy Red and Mocha. Headlinings are available in Black, Bordeaux Red, Atlantic Blue and Black & Silver. Seatbelts can be specified in Black, Ivory, Graphite, Red, Mocha, Tan and several contrast designs.
These details may appear small individually, but together they create a cabin that feels entirely bespoke.
