Siding - Bold Trim Choices

Mar. 5, 2026

If you stop to peruse neighborhood homes, you’ll likely notice many with white trim accentuating the doors, windows, and corners. It’s not only popular, but it can add a freshness that many homeowners seek. We love the look of white trim but wanted to show you a not-so-stark option.

Neutral trim color can add a natural and subtle contrast to your home’s main color, and no matter what neutral speaks to you, you’ll feel secure knowing that your trim color will last longer than a typical paint job on wood trim. James Hardie® siding and trim products come with the option of ColorPlus® Technology, specifically engineered to help resist damaging UV rays, so your color will stay vibrant longer with less maintenance.
