Visualised - Dunvegan House
Once awash in lollipop pastels, Dunvegan House in Napier has been redecorated in a fitting colour scheme. Resene Sonyx 101 semi-gloss acrylic adorns most exterior areas, giving a sheen level that is a little more forgiving on substrate imperfections while still being an easy clean surface. Resene Super Gloss enamel on the steel windows completes the exterior specification.

Colour scheme selection was simplified using the Resene RenderRite electronic visualisation service. A photograph of the exterior of the building was pathed and recoloured using electronic Resene colour formulations making it easy to imagine what the colour scheme would look like, well before the painting started. Once the images were viewed, the final selection of Resene Bianca (light cream off-white) on window frames, soffits, penthouse walls; Resene Rhino (smoky grey blue) on right square panels above and below windows and fascias; Resene Licorice (grey blue) on left square panels above and below windows, horizontal bands, pillars, verandah supports and railings; and Resene Jade (summer blue green) on penthouse window frames and sashes was confirmed and painted.

A comfortable coat in appropriate colours has given this building a consistency of style.
