When cladding your exterior, don’t fear brown. Some have the style stigma that brown comes across lackluster or drab, but the browns in the James Hardie ColorPlus^® palette are just the opposite—they’re interesting and vibrant.  

James Hardie’s ColorPlus Technology is specifically engineered to help resist damaging UV rays, so your color will stay vibrant for longer with less maintenance. One of our favorite rich and earthy browns is Timber Bark. This gray-brown color falls somewhere between light and dark brown and is always stylish.
