Resene Total Colour Awards gallery
Inspiration for decorating products...
Resene has a long history of colour with colours like Resene Spanish White and Resene Pearl Lusta created over three decades ago still continuing to be top choices for decorators today. In 1969 Resene set up a new system of colour, the British Standard Specification colour range which provided a range of strong colours at a time when the market was used to pastel colours. And more recently, in keeping with Resene’s focus on sustainable innovations, Resene has developed its own range of non VOC (volatile organic compound) tinters to enable all Resene decorative paints to be tinted without unwanted VOCs.
With thousands of Resene colours available, there’s no point having all these colours if they aren’t being used, which led to the creation of the Resene Total Colour Awards to celebrate and encourage creative use of colour.
We hope you enjoy viewing a selection of the projects submitted to the Resene Total Colour Awards and that they provide inspiration for decorating projects of your own. Click on a picture to find out more about the project.
