Badji opened the scoring in the 53rd minute with a left-footed stab that was set up by Jack Price's corner and Tommy Smith's headed-on flick.
Colorado doubled its lead in the 61st minute when Badji took advantage of a deflection off defender Jack Elliott.
Badji completed his hat trick in 87th, taking a long diagonal pass from Johan Blomberg and beating Elliott with a stutter move to his left.
Rapids head coach Anthony Hudson earned his first MLS victory, while the Union lost in its first road game of the season.
