AI summary

Choosing the right Resene white paint starts with understanding undertones—warm whites have yellow bases, while cool whites have blue or grey bases.

Test colours using Resene testpots on cardboard to see how they look in your home's changing light. For a cohesive look, consider using different strengths of the same white.

Finally, select a finish. Low-sheen paints like Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen hide imperfections, while gloss finishes like Resene Enamacryl are durable and easy to clean.
