A match of James Hardie Night Gray is a dark gray with a cool cast and very low chroma. It reads as a muted, restrained neutral rather than a clean black, with enough depth to stand out on siding and trim details without looking bright or glossy by nature.
For factory-finished siding work, MyPerfectColor paint matched to James Hardie Night Gray can be used on replacement trim boards, soffit vents, fascia pieces, brackets, fastener covers, shutters, and other adjacent parts that need to blend with the installed material. For direct touch up after shipping damage, installation marks, field cuts, or service work, use Original Material Match when available because it includes a sheen match.
Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, small differences in gloss, texture, and substrate can still show after application. On older installed material, weathering and batch variation may change how the color reads beside the surrounding surface, so a site-specific check or matching to an existing part can be helpful when the fit needs to be tight.
Dark grays can also reveal surface prep more clearly than lighter colors, especially on edges, embossed profiles, or uneven substrates. Uniform cleaning, sanding, and coating thickness help the sprayed finish read more consistently on metal, composite, or painted accessory parts.

For direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie siding, choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match.

It is the right choice for small repairs after shipping damage, installation marks, service work, scratches, or cut edges when you want a matched paint made for James Hardie Night Gray.
Not always. The James Hardie Night Gray color reference is a good starting point, but an older installed surface can look different from the original reference because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation. If the repair is beside aged material, expect the safest result to come from comparing against the existing surface or using an existing-part sample when the visual tolerance is tight.
For direct touch up, use Original Material Match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they do not include a sheen match, so they are better for separate parts, ancillary items, or broader repainting rather than a small repair on factory-finished James Hardie material. If you are painting a replacement piece or another coordinated part, choose the format that fits the substrate and the application method.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie Night 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 Night 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.
