The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus holds the line as far as options and updates go, but it did receive some minor changes to its exterior color lineup, marked by the deletion of two hues and the addition of one other. Today, Ford Authority lays out the entire color lineup for the luxury crossover, right down to pricing and availability where applicable.
All told, there are seven exterior colors offered on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus, and just two of those are no-cost options available for the luxury crossover. Infinite Black Metallic Clearcoat (paint code UM) and Silver Radiance Metallic Clearcoat (paint code JS) are offered as “free” colors, meaning they don’t add anything to the overall cost of the 2026 Nautilus. They’re also available across the entire trim level lineup, and can be had on Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label models.
Meanwhile, four colors are priced at $750. Three of these are offered across all trims, including Whisper Blue Metallic Clearcoat (paint code K1), White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat (paint code UG), and Gray Matter Metallic Clearcoat (paint code EI), the latter of which is a brand-new color for the 2026 model year. Red Carpet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat (paint code D4), also priced at $750, is only available on Premiere and Reserve trims; it cannot be added to Black Label models.
Finally, the most expensive color in the lineup is limited to the range-topping 2026 Nautilus Black Label. That color is Chroma Caviar Dark Gray Metallic Clearcoat (paint code XF), priced at $2,000.
While it gained Gray Matter, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus moved on from Lustrous Gray Metallic Clearcoat and Diamond Red Metallic Clearcoat. The luxury crossover also sees the deletion of its interior Redwood Theme for Black Label, replaced by the brand-new Aurora theme.
Pricing for the luxury crossover stays right on track compared to the 2025 model year, too. Not accounting for destination freight charges, the entry level 2026 Nautilus Premiere starts at the $53,940 mark, while on the opposite end of the spectrum, the Black Label carries a $77,130 starting price.
