AI summary

Choosing the right Resene white paint starts with understanding undertones. Warm whites have yellow or red bases, while cool whites have blue or grey bases. Generally, cool whites like Resene Black White suit bright rooms, while warm whites work well in darker spaces.

Always test colours with Resene testpots on cardboard to see how they look in your home's light. For a cohesive look, consider using different strengths of the same white. Finally, the paint finish impacts durability and light reflection.
