Regional and special colour palettes

As well as all the normal colour charts we release, Resene also has the ability to make and display custom colour palettes too.

Resene Top 20 colours

This tends to come in very handy if you have specific colour palettes being developed with local councils in protected areas or if you’re finishing manufactured goods with Resene colours and would like to be able to present the colour palette. We can provide samples of the chosen colours and display them on our website for quick and easy access. We can even include specific guidance notes and rules so building owners can learn about the palette and how to use it. It’s a handy way to provide a customised colour palette that will be easy to find in the future.

If you’re interested in creating a custom palette or already have one and would just like it to be made more accessible, contact us at update@resene.co.nz with details of your palette.

Click on the palette below to view some of the regional and special colour palettes already online.
