As with most entry-level trims, a Navara EL with a Brilliant Silver and Alpine White color comes with black-colored exterior trim pieces.

Both trims do have body-colored front and rear bumpers.
Quiet and regal
If you prefer something quiet and elegant, then you might want the Forged Metallic Copper or Lunar Metallic Gray for the Navara. Of note, these are available for the VL and VE 4x2 variants only.

Something in-between
If one still wants to veer away from either the loud or tough-looking colors of the Navara PRO-4X, then there’s Aspen Pearl White.
Of note, a PRO-4X with this body color still gets the black exterior trim pieces and the gloss black roof rails, orange front bumper accents, and the alternate black-colored front grille with the Orange-tinged Nissan logo.
Also, Aspen Pearl White is also available for the VL trims, which as mentioned combines the said color with plenty of chrome.
The colors of adventure
If you want a tough or loud persona for your Navara, then the Galaxy Black, Fiery Red, or Stealth Pearl Gray might be the colors for you. These are all available for the top-spec Navara PRO-4X only, and they complement the said trim’s black-colored exterior bits.
The Navara PRO-4X in Stealth Pearl Grey
As mentioned, these colors are combined with the PRO-4X's black-colored front grille, its orange front bumper trim pieces, among others.

Remember though that these are just suggestions, and if you’re getting a Navara, you should just go with the color you want. Then again, it appears that most color options for this model are attached to its many variants, so that’s one thing to consider if the color of your car is a big deal for you.
