A Blue for Every Occasion

Soft grey blues with a blend of green, like Resene Duck Egg Blue, or Resene Half Emerge used with soft sand tones give a relaxed seaside feel. Deep moody blues are rich and sophisticated, framing a beautiful view through a window – try Resene Indian Ink or Resene Dark Side.


Easy classic blues, like Resene Breeze or Resene Half Dusted Blue, teamed with a vintage white and pretty sorbet shades are comforting and inviting.

Surprise pops of bright blue in Resene Endeavour or Resene Tomorrow add an impact and demand attention, but use sparingly!

For Cape Cod blues try Resene Periglacial Blue or Resene Madison teamed with chalky whites and natural textures for a luxury coastal retreat.
