The 2023 Honda Pilot was offered in eight exterior paint finishes in Honda’s U.S. color chart, with availability depending on trim and interior combination. The official list is Crystal Black Pearl, Diffused Sky Blue Pearl, Lunar Silver Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic, Obsidian Blue Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic II and Sonic Gray Pearl.
The previous AutoZonic article mixed colors from different Honda models and years, used incorrect paint codes, invented two-tone combinations and gave conflicting totals. The list below follows Honda’s 2023 Pilot color chart.
Official 2023 Honda Pilot exterior colors
- Crystal Black Pearl
- Diffused Sky Blue Pearl
- Lunar Silver Metallic
- Modern Steel Metallic
- Obsidian Blue Pearl
- Platinum White Pearl
- Radiant Red Metallic II
- Sonic Gray Pearl
Not every color was offered on every trim. Diffused Sky Blue Pearl, for example, was associated with TrailSport in Honda’s chart, while other colors were available across different combinations of LX, Sport, EX-L, Touring and Elite.
What interior colors and materials were available?
Honda’s chart pairs exterior paint with several interior choices depending on trim, including black or gray cloth, black or gray leather, perforated leather, brown perforated leather and TrailSport durable synthetic leather. The material and color depended on the selected trim and exterior paint.
Did the 2023 Pilot have two-tone exterior paint?
Honda’s official 2023 Pilot color chart used for this update does not support the old AutoZonic claim that the Pilot offered invented combinations such as “Sonic Gray Pearl with Platinum White Pearl.” We removed those combinations rather than repeating unsourced AI-generated data.
How should a used buyer verify the original color?
Check the paint code on the vehicle and compare it with Honda’s model-year documentation. A used SUV may have been repainted, wrapped or repaired, so the color visible today is not always the factory finish.

About this article
Updated August 9, 2026 by the AutoZonic Editorial Team. The legacy AI-generated version contained conflicting color lists, wrong codes, invented two-tone options and incorrect 2023 transmission/trim information. Those details and hotlinked images were removed and the page was rebuilt from Honda’s official color chart.
