AI summary

Choosing the right Resene white paint involves considering both hue and finish. Start by deciding between warm (yellow/red base) or cool (blue/grey base) undertones to match your room's lighting and mood.

Use Resene testpots on cardboard to accurately see how the colour appears in your space. Cool whites like Resene Black White suit bright rooms, while warm whites work well in darker ones. Consider using different strengths of one colour and choose a finish based on durability and light reflection.
