We go together


Good couples – with Resene, from Homestyle magazine

We all have one of those friends, the type who knows just how to combine paint colours, but what if it’s not your strength?

Colour matches cloudy blue and tan.

Colours made to go together

In our new series, we bring you dynamic duos that are made for each other. First up: cloudy blue and tan.

Two’s company

These hues complement each other to sophisticated effect thanks to their similar strength and moody quality. When pairing paint colours, create visual harmony by using varying amounts of each. Here, Resene Hammerhead covers two-thirds of the wall and the top third is painted in Resene Pendragon.

Interior look, from top: Walls in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen in Resene Pendragon and Resene Hammerhead; floor in Resene Walk-on in Resene House White.

Inspiration
