How to Pair Color, Trim, and Finish

White trim: Design experts recommend whites most often, with 49% naming white the best color to sell a home. White trim frames almost any field shade.
Curated palette: James Hardie siding colors run through the curated Statement Collection, including Iron Gray, the 2026 Color of the Year. Our guide to James Hardie colors shows more options.
Popular pairings: Popular hardie board colors like Iron Gray or a soft blue pair with white or contrasting trim. Combinations vary by home style and roof color.
Baked finish: ColorPlus Technology is a factory-applied, baked-on finish cured between coats. It resists fading, chipping, and cracking better than field paint.
Warranty term: HardieTrim boards and ColorPlus finishes carry James Hardie coverage. The ColorPlus finish warranty runs 15 years against peeling, cracking, and chipping.

Building a Color Combination You Love

Top Recommendation: Pair a neutral field color with crisp white HardieTrim for broad, lasting appeal. Request a free estimate from Coastal Windows & Exteriors.
Great for contrast: Choose a deep gray or blue field with white trim for definition.
Smart for warmth: Select an earth-tone field with soft, coordinating trim for a natural look.
