Is Dark Ash Metallic Disappearing? the Truth About Chevy’s Most Popular Paint
By Sarah Jenkins
Can I still custom order a brand-new Chevy truck in Dark Ash Metallic?
No. Dark Ash Metallic (code G6M / WA619D) has been dropped from factory ordering banks across primary retail trims on the Silverado 1500, Tahoe, and Suburban. To get this color, you must shop leftover dealer inventory from earlier allocations or search the pre-owned market.
What is the closest current color to Dark Ash Metallic in the GM lineup?
Slate Gray Metallic (code GNO) is the closest darker option currently offered on select truck platforms, though it features a flatter, cement-like undertone. Sterling Gray Metallic (code GXD) provides a metallic finish but is noticeably lighter and cooler in appearance.
Where can I find the paint code label on my Dark Ash Chevy?
Locate the Service Parts Identification sticker or the modern QR-code certification label. On newer Silverado, Tahoe, and Suburban models, this label is affixed to the driver-side B-pillar door jamb. Scan the QR code or locate the line labeled "BC/CC" followed by U619D or WA619D.
