Match of James Hardie™ Deep Ocean *

Yes, if the job is direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie siding, choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the touch-up choice for this collection because it includes a sheen match. Other MyPerfectColor formats can be color-matched, but they are better suited to separate parts or broader repainting, not direct touch up on the installed surface.

Not always. James Hardie Deep Ocean 489568 is a factory color reference, but an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation. Even when the color reference is correct, the aged surface beside it may not read the same.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, order only the option that says Original Material Match. If you are painting a replacement part or other separate item, a different MyPerfectColor format may fit the job. For James Hardie Deep Ocean 489568, do not treat housepaint, urethane, or epoxy as direct touch-up choices because they do not include a sheen match.

James Hardie Deep Ocean 489568 is a siding color reference, so it should be used as a match point for siding, trim, and nearby exterior parts that need to coordinate with the brand finish. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for accessories such as vents, fascia details, shutters, or flashing when the goal is to blend with the existing James Hardie material. For direct touch up on the siding itself, use Original Material Match.

Yes. James Hardie Deep Ocean 489568 can be used to coordinate a replacement panel, trim piece, or other paintable accessory that needs to blend with existing James Hardie siding. For a new part, match the color reference and choose the product format that fits the substrate and the job. If the goal is direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose only Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie Deep Ocean 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 Deep Ocean 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.
