From the Resene News – issue 2/2004 Blended beauty - Te Wananga O Aotearoa Campus
Outside sleek grey tones of Resene Silver Chalice (light grey) on plaster block walls and new Harditex soffits combine with Resene Tuna (mid grey) on new low level entry walls as an austere backdrop for the Resene Burgundy (deep magenta) steel entry columns. The juxtaposed deep hue on grey is the perfect accent to lift the grey without overwhelming the incoming traffic. Inside the colours break away from the grey palette, finding their way into neutrals of Resene Parchment (light beige) as the base wall colour accented by Resene Putty (yellow oxide cream) and highlights of Resene Hot Chile (rich red), Resene Astronaut (deep blue) and a popularly named colour Resene Tax Break (greened grey-blue). The strength of the deep red, blue and undertone of green bring the depth of the exterior Resene Tuna inside and reinvent the depth with warmth and complexity. To complete the look, the reception area gleams with solid Tawa slats and feature panel inserts of Southern Sheet Paua Blue. Set against the rich Resene Hot Chile, the placement of natural materials of wood and paua brings a little of the local environment inside for all to enjoy no matter what mother nature has planned for outside.
