The automaker has a long history of punnily-named paint options, and it looks like the pivot to EV ain’t going to change that
- The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona will come in an array of paint colours, but it launches with just four
- Initially just white, black, and silver would be available off the bat, but Peel Out orange and Bludicrous are now to be included in the order books when they’re first cracked open
- Dodge first started sticking creative paint colour names on its option lists back in the ’70s

On tap in that bracket are Peel Out (orange), Triple Nickel (grey), and After Dark (blue). Destroyer Grey and Redeye should be self-explanatory. There is also DB Black, which officially stands for Diamond Black, but the unspoken inspiration is from a table in the coroner’s office.
You might have to wait for a few of those to show up in the order books, even if they show up on online configurators right now. From what we gather, the launch slate will be limited to White Knuckle, Diamond Black, Peel Out, and a different blue hue, Bludicrous. That’s an improvement over the previously announced palette of just White Knuckle, Black Diamond, and Triple Nickel.
