Cadillac V-Series paint colors 2022-26

Yes, that's weird. Based on the paint codes that were given in the original 5-page brochure, I looked up where else GM used those. Wicked Metallic (WA437E) was used on 2020-2021 Buick GXs and Encores but was named Black Currant. Emerald Lake (WA616D) was used on 2024-2025 Cadillac XT4/5/6s and LYRIQs, as well as 2026 VISTIQs, all of them called Emerald Lake.

You may have a shot at finding one of those XT4/5/6s in Emerald at local dealer somewhere to at see it person. Try searching inventory on Cadillac's website and narrow down by distance. As for Wicked, probably slim to none chance to find one of those Buicks close by at CarMax or used car lot given purple likely not a popular color with Buick owners. No offense to any Buick owners here.

Looks to be a couple of dozen 2020-2021 Buicks in Black Currant available in the US.

Unfortunately most of the photos posted are horrible quality.

Isn't Emerald Lake a stock color on many GM vehicles? I remember seeing the name, but I don't remember if it was 2024 or 2025

I use PaintRef.com - Automotive Truck Fleet Paint Color Code Cross Reference as my resource for paint codes as they have codes going back to the early 1900s, and the only GM vehicles that came back with WA616D (the most recent code for Emerald Lake Metallic) were those Cadillac models that I mentioned above. Also Google search came up with only recent Cadillacs in that color - though there were some much better quality personal owner photos of the ELM that I found in that google search. It's another one of those colors that seems to vary greatly depending on the lighting.

I’m also looking closely at Evergreen metallic

Sorry, I was thinking Lakeshore Blue and got confused with Emerald Lake. All these names! So many sound a like.
