This light neutral comes straight from the softest colors in nature, like sand and seashells. Use it as an understated accent, or for a whole house.
Modern Neutral: Light Mist carries the gentle embrace of a foggy morning, with a subtle hint of blue. It’s a modern neutral that creates a clean, calming look—perfect for those seeking understated elegance that still feels inviting.

Count on ColorPlus Technology to Keep Your Home Looking Beautiful for Longer
No matter what Hardie collection you choose, ColorPlus Technology equips your siding with a baked-on color. It provides consistent coloring that’s resistant to fading as well as cracking or chipping. With the durability of James Hardie® ColorPlus Technology, your home will boast bold colors for many years to come.
Unlike standard field painting, ColorPlus Technology uses a proprietary finish that’s applied and baked-on in a controlled factory environment. This process ensures even coverage, a smooth and beautiful appearance, and long-lasting performance. The advanced finish is specifically engineered to help resist fading from UV rays, so your chosen shade stays vibrant season after season—no matter the New England weather.
With ColorPlus, you get peace of mind knowing your siding will look just as striking years down the road as it does the day it’s installed.
How ColorPlus® Technology Shields Against Fading
Thanks to ColorPlus® Technology, your siding is built to withstand the harshest sun—so you won’t have to worry about your color losing its vibrancy over time. The secret lies in the advanced, baked-on finish. This process locks in rich pigments, offering remarkable protection against the UV rays that cause ordinary painted surfaces to fade.
In short, ColorPlus® Technology keeps your home looking fresh, colorful, and polished for longer—ensuring that stunning curb appeal doesn’t fade away with the summer sun.
How Does ColorPlus® Technology Outperform Regular Paint?
Let’s talk results: ColorPlus Technology doesn’t just add color—it delivers lasting beauty and peace of mind. Unlike traditional paint, which is applied in the field and prone to uneven coverage, ColorPlus Technology gives your siding a uniform, baked-on finish in a factory-controlled setting. This process means the color is sealed in, preventing the cracking, chipping, and peeling you often see with regular house paint.
What truly sets ColorPlus apart from standard paints is its exceptional resistance to fading and UV damage. Thanks to multiple coats cured between applications, your home’s vibrant look won’t wash out in a New England summer or fade under strong sun the way traditional painted exteriors might. In short, ColorPlus keeps your siding looking rich and fresh far longer, saving you the hassle and cost of frequent repainting.
