Match of James Hardie™ Khaki Brown *

For direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie Khaki Brown siding, choose the MyPerfectColor option that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the option made for touch up because it includes a sheen match.

If the repair is on a separate part, accessory, or larger repaint instead of a small touch-up area, another matched format may fit the job better.

It may not read the same as the original reference once the installed siding has been exposed to sun, weather, chalking, or cleaning. Even when the color reference is correct, the aged surface can look different because its sheen and texture have changed.

For a high-visibility touch-up beside older material, expect some match risk and consider whether an existing-part or site-specific comparison is the safer reference.

Pick the format based on the job. For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, use Original Material Match when available. For a replacement part, accessory, or broader repaint, a color-matched housepaint or another matched product type can be appropriate if the surface and application fit that job.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy are color-matched options, but they should not be described as direct touch-up products for factory-finished siding because they do not include a sheen match.

Yes. MyPerfectColor paint matched to James Hardie Khaki Brown can be used to coordinate replacement boards, trim pieces, soffit, fascia, gutters, flashings, vents, shutters, and similar nearby accessories that need to blend with James Hardie siding.

That use case is different from direct touch up on the original finished surface, so choose the product type that matches the part you are painting.

Color is only one part of the match. Gloss, texture, embossing, and the substrate all change how James Hardie Khaki Brown reads after application. A correct color match can still look different if the repaired area does not behave like the original factory-finished surface.

If the repair is a spot touch-up, use Original Material Match when available because it includes a sheen match. If the finish details matter a lot, compare against the actual installed surface before ordering.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie Khaki Brown 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 Khaki Brown 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.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new.
