It’s April, and We’re Still Obsessed with James Hardie’s Color of the Year: Evening Blue

Let’s be honest—most “Color of the Year” announcements fade out after a few weeks. But here we are, well into April, and at Siding Pro, we’re still hearing the same question: “Can we do our house in Evening Blue?”

Short answer? Absolutely. And long answer? We still can’t get enough of this bold, timeless, totally Colorado-perfect shade.

Evening Blue is the kind of color that looks good in every season. It’s rich and saturated without feeling trendy, and it brings a polished, high-end look to almost any home style—whether you’re updating a mid-century ranch or building something brand-new up in the Northgate area. And here in Colorado Springs, it somehow looks even better with our big blue skies and mountainous backdrops.

This time of year, we’re seeing a lot of homeowners start exterior refreshes—maybe you’re doing spring maintenance, prepping to sell, or finally tackling that siding replacement project you’ve been putting off since last fall. If you’re considering a full re-siding or even just a color refresh, Evening Blue deserves a spot on your short list.

Why? First, it’s incredibly versatile. Evening Blue pairs beautifully with light trims (think crisp Arctic White), warm woods, and even stone or brick elements. It works with farmhouse-style homes, modern architecture, craftsman details—you name it. It’s bold enough to make a statement but grounded enough to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings we love here in the Springs.

Second, this color doesn’t just look good—it lasts. James Hardie siding with ColorPlus® Technology is baked with color in the factory, which means it resists fading, chipping, and peeling. That deep, rich blue will look just as vibrant a few Aprils from now as it does the day we install it. That’s a big deal here, where the sun can be intense and the weather is never boring.

Also, let’s not forget the curb appeal factor. We’ve seen homes go from “meh” to “wow” just by upgrading to Evening Blue siding. Whether you’re staying for the long haul or thinking about resale, this is the kind of choice that adds instant value. It gives your home that clean, elevated look people notice—without feeling like you’re chasing a trend that’ll be outdated next year.

If you’re on the fence about color, we get it. That’s why Siding Pro offers free consultations —so you can see what Evening Blue would look like on your home before making the leap. It’s just one more way we help Colorado Springs homeowners feel confident in their exterior upgrades.

We’re not just installers. We’re your local siding specialists, living and working right here in the Springs. We know the neighborhoods, we know the climate, and as a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, we know how to install siding that protects your home for decades.

So if you’re planning a spring project and want a color that still feels fresh, relevant, and Colorado-appropriate—even four months after it made headlines—Evening Blue is absolutely worth considering.
