The KTM 250 Duke is offered in three colour options, following the addition of two new shades in a cosmetic-only update on 24 February 2026.

**Ebony Black**
The original, longest-running Duke colourway. Black lets the naked's exposed trellis-frame styling do the talking without a loud paint job, and it hides road grime and minor scuffs better than lighter colours - a practical pick if you're commuting through Mumbai's traffic and dust every day.

**Silver Metallic**
One of two colours added in the February 2026 refresh. The lighter silver body panels make the orange trellis frame and wheel accents pop more sharply than on the black version, giving the Duke a cleaner, slightly more premium look without losing any of its aggression.

**Slate Grey**
The other February 2026 addition - a muted, matte-finish grey that leans into the bike's streetfighter character. It pairs well with the black engine casing and orange frame highlights, and hides fine swirl marks better than a gloss finish, though it needs matte-specific cleaning products to maintain properly.

All three colours are sold at the same ex-showroom price of Rs 2,26,766 in Delhi (varying slightly by city) - colour is purely a styling choice with zero difference in spec, features, or performance across the range. Buyers cross-shopping the used market should note that pre-2026 Duke 250s were sold only in Ebony Black, so a Silver Metallic or Slate Grey example is almost certainly a newer bike.

## Colour Options
- Ebony Black (#1A1A1A)
- Metallic Silver (#9C9C9C)
- Slate Grey (#E66A1F)

Ebony Black remains the safest resale choice, given how common and instantly recognisable it is among used-bike buyers across India - most dealers and private buyers know exactly what they're looking at. Silver Metallic and Slate Grey are still relatively rare on Indian roads since they only arrived with the February 2026 refresh, which appeals to riders who want their Duke to stand out from the sea of black and orange naked bikes at any traffic signal. The trade-off is a smaller ownership base for these two shades, which could mean a marginally smaller pool of interested buyers if you plan to resell within the first year or two. All three colours carry identical resale depreciation otherwise - colour has no bearing on KTM's official warranty or service terms.
