Perfectly pale

Colour trends from NZ House and Garden magazine

Neutrals are at the heart of many schemes.

There’s a reason the extensive array of off-whites and creams in Resene’s colour collections prove popular year after year. Each may be subtly different – some are crisp and clean, others creamy and mellow, with everything in between – but all are hugely versatile. They can be used with a range of interior styles, and beautifully support patterns and other colours. They can also anchor a tonal scheme in which other soft neutrals are introduced for layered interest – check out the Resene Whites & Neutrals range to see the vast number of colour variants available and for inspiration on building a tonal colour palette. Soft whites tinted into Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen work in any room but are particularly helpful in a bedroom to create a calming space in which to fully relax at the end of the day and get a good night’s sleep.
