James Hardie 2026 Color Of The Year Iron Gray
A bold chapter in exterior design has arrived, and Valentine Roofing is excited to join James Hardie in celebrating Iron Gray as the official 2026 Color of the Year. This deep, saturated shade from the Hardie Statement Collection® was selected for its balance of strength, resilience, and enduring beauty. Homeowners across the Pacific Northwest can now elevate their curb appeal with a color that feels both dramatic and timeless.
A Color That Makes a Statement
According to the James Hardie Color of the Year overview, Iron Gray stands out for its rich intensity and its ability to deliver a refined, architectural look on nearly any home style, from classic craftsman designs to sleek, modern builds. This is a shade that feels grounded, confident, and sophisticated, giving your home presence in every season.
Paired with crisp accents like Hardie Trim in Arctic White, Iron Gray creates a clean contrast that instantly enhances curb appeal. Or, opt for matching Iron Gray trim to achieve a bold, monochromatic exterior that feels custom and contemporary.
Beauty That Lasts, Year After Year
Iron Gray is finished with Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology, a factory-applied coating engineered for the Pacific Northwest’s demanding weather. Homeowners enjoy:
- Vibrant, consistent color
- A finish that resists fading, chipping, peeling, and cracking
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- A 15-year finish warranty backed by James Hardie
This means your exterior will continue looking freshly painted even after years of rain, sun, and seasonal changes.
Designed for the Pacific Northwest
For homeowners in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Skagit, Kitsap, Thurston, and Island counties, Iron Gray offers the perfect combination of durability and design. Its deep tone complements our lush evergreens, overcast skies, and modern Northwest architecture, creating a striking look without feeling overpowering.
