For decades we have focused on helping you discover and use colour for your decorating projects. We regularly collate and launch fashion colour fandecks and palettes as well as update the ever-popular Resene The Range Whites & Neutrals collection. We publish habitat magazine and the habitat of the week email newsletters to inspire you, and we have many resources to help you choose exactly the right colours for your home.

At our Resene ColorShops you’ll find colour and technical consultants, colour cards and testpots for you to try. And we round it all out with exclusive collections of wallpapers and curtain fabrics.

Our latest offering to help you in your colour quest is this, our habitat plus book devoted to colour – from the most vibrant reds and yellows, to soothing neutrals and moody black. We have plenty of examples as well as great advice. So turn the page, be inspired and have fun with colour.

Happy decorating!
