Match of James Hardie™ Redwood *

Yes, if you are touching up a factory-finished James Hardie Redwood surface, choose a MyPerfectColor option labeled Original Material Match. For this collection, that is the format intended for direct touch up because it includes a sheen match.

If the damage is on a separate replacement part, accessory, or another paintable piece, a different matched product may be appropriate. For chips, rub marks, cut edges, or scratches on the finished surface, start with Original Material Match.

Not always. James Hardie Redwood 90450 is a factory color reference, but an installed surface can change with sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

If you are repairing aged material next to new touch up, the color reference can still be the right starting point, but the existing surface may read differently. When the match needs to be tight, compare against the actual installed piece or approved sample before ordering.

For direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie Redwood 90450, choose Original Material Match when it is available. That is the only option in this collection that should be described as suitable for touch up because it includes a sheen match.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched to Redwood 90450, but they are better for separate parts, broader repainting, or other coordinated work. They should not be treated as direct touch-up products for the finished surface.

James Hardie Redwood 90450 is a building-material color reference for the James Hardie siding family, so it is useful when a replacement board, trim piece, soffit, fascia, shutter, vent, gutter detail, or similar exterior component needs to blend with nearby Redwood material.

For a direct repair on the finished surface, use Original Material Match. For a separate part that will be painted before installation or on its own, a matched MyPerfectColor product made from the Redwood reference can be appropriate.

Before ordering a custom match of James Hardie Redwood 90450, confirm the exact brand color, the product type, the finish requirement, and the quantity you need. That helps avoid ordering the wrong format for the job.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking whether you need Original Material Match for touch up or a different matched product for a replacement part or broader repainting project.

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

MyPerfectColor has the original James Hardie color samples. A sample of the James Hardie Redwood you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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.
