When it comes to home siding colors (and the dead of winter), Midwesterners seek the warmth.  Warmer hues pack a hint of heat into your home’s exterior, bringing to mind the golden sun and sand. Enter desert inspiration—dry air that smells of eucalyptus, thriving succulents and mountain views.

Now you can grab a hold of those desert vibes and unleash them onto your home’s exterior.

When working in James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology palette, warmer colors can feel less stark. Versatile warm colors, such as Autumn Tan and Navajo Beige, work well on traditional Minnesota houses. Browns, warm reds and yellows in subtle tones, such as Chestnut Brown and Monterey Taupe, are great for trims on a Midwest craftsman or a rustic ranch.

With James Hardie’s added benefit of ColorPlus Technology—a baked-on color option that helps resist fading—your siding will stay vibrant longer without a ton of maintenance.

Here are a few homes in James Hardie’s top-selling warm siding ColorPlus colors in the Midwest region:

Navajo Beige: This Minnesota home boasts HardiePlank® lap siding and straight edge HardieShingle® siding in Navajo Beige, classic and warm like sand from the west.
