A match of James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray is a very dark gray with a muted, low-chroma character and a subtle green-leaning undertone. It reads close to charcoal, but it is not a clean neutral black; the color has a restrained, slightly softened look that keeps it from appearing harsh.
For James Hardie siding, MyPerfectColor spray paint in this match of JH90-30 Iron Gray can be used on replacement boards, trim pieces, soffit or fascia details, vent covers, brackets, shutters, fastener caps, and other ancillary parts that need to blend with the installed material. For direct touch up after shipping damage, installation marks, field cutting, or service work, choose Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match.
Because this is a very dark color, surface prep, substrate texture, and film build can change how it reads after spraying. On older installed material, weathering, batch variation, and sheen differences may still be visible beside a fresh repair, so a correct color reference does not guarantee an invisible result.

For direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray siding, choose an Original Material Match product. That is the option that includes a sheen match, which is important for touch-up work after shipping damage, installation damage, service work, or cut-edge repair. MyPerfectColor can make paint matched to this color reference, but the repair still has to be applied carefully and may not disappear completely on an existing installed surface.
A match of James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray is a factory color reference, but an older installed siding surface can read differently because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation. If you are touching up an exposed or aged area, plan for some visible difference even when the color reference is correct. When the fit matters a lot, a sample from the actual site or the existing part is often the safer reference.
For direct touch up on James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray, use only a product that explicitly says Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they should be treated as choices for separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting rather than direct touch-up work on factory-finished siding.
Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray for siding-related parts such as replacement boards, trim, soffit, fascia, shutters, vents, flashings, and other nearby accessories that need to blend with the siding. If the job is direct touch up on the original factory-finished surface, choose Original Material Match. If the job is painting a separate part, choose the format that fits that part and the application.
If the siding is already aged, highly visible, or subject to a tight approval standard, a sample or the actual existing part is often better than the nominal James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray reference alone. That gives MyPerfectColor a more site-specific target when the installed finish has changed over time. Use the brand color reference for the starting point, but switch to a sample or existing part when you need the closest practical match to what is already on the building.
It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the James Hardie JH90-30 Iron Gray is based on matching an official James Hardie color sample. The color and sheen of your specific James Hardie parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.
