For homeowners planning a siding, trim, or soffit upgrade, color is one of the most visible decisions in an exterior project. As an exterior remodeling contractor serving the Denver Metro area and Colorado Front Range, we offer these new James Hardie colors with design guidance and professional installation.
What New James Hardie Colors Are Now Available?
The newest James Hardie color releases span lap siding, board and batten, trim, and 24-inch vented soffit panels. Each option uses the ColorPlus® Technology finish, so homeowners can coordinate colors across products while keeping the look consistent.
New Lap Siding and Board & Batten Colors
As a James Hardie siding installer in Denver, GS Exterior Experts can now offer two new colors in both lap siding and board and batten profiles:
- Deep Ocean — a rich, sophisticated blue that adds curb appeal while complementing Colorado’s natural landscapes.
- Midnight Black — a dramatic, modern black designed for bold contemporary exteriors and high-contrast architectural styles.
Whether you want to make a bold contemporary statement or blend seamlessly with Colorado’s natural beauty, these new additions offer the perfect opportunity to elevate your home’s exterior.
New Trim Colors
James Hardie has added two factory-finished trim colors for window trim, door trim, corner boards, and fascia:
- Midnight Black
- Rich Espresso
These give homeowners and designers more room to create seamless monochromatic looks or high-impact accent details around the home.
New 24-Inch Vented Soffit Colors
James Hardie’s 24-inch vented soffit panels are now available in four new colors:
- Cobblestone
- Iron Gray
- Midnight Black
- Timber Bark
Beyond appearance, Hardie® soffit panels help protect roof overhangs while supporting attic ventilation, moisture control, and wildfire resilience. Contact our team today to request physical samples and start visualizing these stunning new shades in your home.
What Is ColorPlus® Technology, and Why Does It Matter in Colorado?
ColorPlus® Technology matters because it is a factory-applied, baked-on finish engineered for color consistency, fade resistance, and long-term durability compared with traditional field-applied paint. For Colorado homeowners, that finish is designed to stand up to UV exposure, harsh weather, and the state’s extreme temperature swings.
Because the color is applied in a controlled factory setting rather than on-site, homeowners often see more even coverage and longer-lasting color than hand-painted siding can provide.
How Can Denver Homeowners Choose the Right Color Combination?
Homeowners can choose the right siding combination by reviewing samples, considering their home’s architecture and surroundings, and planning siding, trim, and soffit colors together rather than separately. Viewing colors in natural light and against existing rooflines, stone, or brick helps avoid mismatches once installation begins.
GS Exterior Experts provides design consultations to help homeowners compare the new options and request samples before committing to a full exterior project.
Can the New Soffit Colors Support Wildfire Protection?
The new vented soffit colors can be part of a broader wildfire-protection approach, especially for homes in Colorado’s Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones. James Hardie® vented soffit panels are made from noncombustible fiber cement, and we can install code-compliant fire-resistant mesh behind them to help block wind-driven embers from entering attic spaces through ventilation openings.
This ember-resistant detail helps maintain proper airflow while supporting applicable WUI building requirements. Homeowners in mapped fire-risk areas can learn more about local rules on our Colorado wildfire resiliency page. As always, noncombustible siding and soffit are one part of a larger home-hardening plan rather than a complete solution on their own.
