The Resene Top 20 colours features a range of popular Resene whites and neutrals, ideal for your projects inside and out accented by stronger and brighter hues to lift the colour scheme.
Based on sales, the most popular Resene colours are...
A versatile white with a hint of grey, best used with muted rather than bright colours.
A white with a nebulous hint of grey hiding in its depths.
A shadow of grey, white and taupe, genteel and well mannered.
A clean starchy white with the tiniest touch of yellow in it.
A sharp white with an inkling of green hidden within.
See the Resene Whites & Neutrals colour chart and The Range Whites & Neutrals for a great range of popular Resene whites and neutrals hues.
When choosing neutrals, one quick way to create a colour scheme is to choose strengths of the same colour, such as full strength on the walls, double strength on the doors (helps to hide fingermarks) and eighth or quarter strength on the ceiling.
Vary the sheen level surface to surface to accentuate the colour differences. Try Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen on walls, Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel on trims and joinery and Resene SpaceCote Flat on ceilings.
Always try out your colours using a Resene testpot in the area you plan to paint before you start your painting project - that’s the best way to confirm the colour looks right before you start painting. You can also can order drawdowns online.
