2019 Chevrolet Equinox
14 factory colors were offered on the Third generation, pre-refresh Equinox. Your code is on the driver's door jamb sticker on the line marked C/TR — the characters before the slash.
This is the earliest model year currently in our database for the Equinox, so there is no prior year to compare against.

Where to find your paint code
Driver's-door B-pillar Certification label - scan the 2D QR/data-matrix code (all 2018-and-later Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC vehicles) to list every RPO code fitted, paint included.
Driver's door jamb
- Open the driver's door and find the Certification label on the B-pillar or door jamb.
- Scan the square 2D QR/data-matrix code on that label with a phone. It returns the VIN plus the full RPO list.
- In the returned list, the paint RPO is the three-character code starting with G (e.g. GAZ, G6M, GXD).
- If the vehicle predates the QR label, open the glove box and read the 'Service Parts Identification' (SPID) placard instead - it prints the same RPO list as plain text.
- Cross-check against the WA number if you are buying touch-up paint: retailers index by WA, not RPO.
If the sticker is missing or faded
- Service Parts Identification (SPID) placard - glove box on Silverado/Sierra; trunk floor or driver's door panel on cars
- Original window sticker (Monroney), which names the exterior colour in plain language
- Dealer parts department VIN lookup, which returns the build's full RPO list
- GM Vehicle Diagnostics / MyChevrolet app build data for later vehicles
Other Equinox years
Color availability changed year to year. Codes often carried over; names sometimes did not.
