Colour story


Decorating articles and inspiration from TrendsIdeas

From green seas and white water to blue skies and golden sunsets – the natural environment inspired the Resene coloured panels on this new home.

Colourful exterior panels

Contemporary homes are increasingly designed to maximise a connection with the outdoors. The designer of this house took this concept one step further – he specified a colourful facade inspired by the natural environment.

Chris Lillis of Crisilis Architecture clad one external wall of the house with metal panels in Resene paints that are reminiscent of sea greens, white water, beach grasses, blue skies, field flora and golden sunsets. Resene Bluegrass, Resene Flashback, Resene Compass, Resene Lime White and Resene Escapade feature on staggered panels in a random pattern.

Colourful panels on home exterior
Resene Lumbersider, which was tinted to a variety of colours inspired by nature, features an exterior wall of this new house.

The designer says the colour wall is located between two pavilions, essentially forming an inside wall that represents the living heart of the house. The rhythm of the coloured panels was also designed to reduce the scale of the wall visually, and to reflect the varied form and scale of elements in the natural environment.

The panels were painted in Resene Lumbersider, an Environmental Choice-approved paint based on a tough 100% acrylic resin, which ensures maximum durability in exposed areas. This paint has a natural low sheen look and is washable.
