Natural Trim Colors for your Home Exterior

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—our collection of brown trim shades.

Brown trim can add a natural and subtle contrast to your home’s main color, and when you go with James Hardie® siding and trim, there are a few browns worth noting.

Khaki Brown is a classic mid-tone brown and Timber Bark is an elegant deep gray-brown. All blend nicely with a neutral-to-light main home hue.

No matter what brown speaks to you, you’ll feel secure knowing that your trim color will stay vibrant with lower maintenance over the long haul. James Hardie siding and trim products are equipped with ColorPlus® Technology, a baked-on color process that is engineered to help resist damaging UV rays.

Here are a few tanned trimmed homes worth a peek:

Subtle and Soothing
This one-story home has HardiePlank lap siding in Navajo Beige, with natural looking HardieTrim boards in Khaki Brown. The two neutral hues—Navajo Beige and Khaki Brown— are a perfect match to the earth-toned roof.

Tudor in Timber Bark
This Midwest Tudor style home is sided in HardiePanel vertical siding in Sail Cloth with HardieTrim boards in Timber Bark. Using the gray-brown trim color gives this traditional home a more updated look, all while staying true to the Tudor design.
