Match of James Hardie™ Colonial Gray *

Yes, if you need touch up on factory-finished James Hardie siding in Colonial Gray 90448, choose an option labeled Original Material Match. That is the product type intended for touch up because it includes a sheen match. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for the Colonial Gray color reference so you can repair shipping damage, installation damage, field cuts, or service marks on the affected area.

Colonial Gray 90448 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 match is correct, the repaired spot may not blend invisibly beside aged siding. If the job is next to existing material, compare against the installed surface before you order whenever possible.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials in Colonial Gray 90448, use Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they do not include a sheen match and should not be treated as direct touch-up products. If you are painting a separate part, accessory, or broader repaired area, choose the format that fits that job rather than the touch-up path.

James Hardie Colonial Gray 90448 is a siding color reference, so it is useful when you need a matched paint for siding touch up or for a replacement part that needs to blend with nearby exterior materials. It can also be used on related items such as trim pieces, soffit, fascia, shutters, or other adjacent accessories when the goal is coordination with the Colonial Gray finish. For touch up on the factory-finished surface itself, use Original Material Match.

Before ordering a custom match for Colonial Gray 90448, confirm the exact brand color, product type, finish, and quantity. That matters because the match is made to the selected building-material color reference, and custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable. If you are unsure whether you need touch up or a separate-part product, verify that before you buy.

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

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. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
