The paint is dry on the newest Resene colour collection — the Resene Multi-finish collection. This is the heart of the Resene Total Colour System, encompassing 896 colours ranging the gamut of the rainbow, presented in a series of 64 palettes.

The collection brings together the most popular Multi-finish colours, together with favourites from many of The Range fashion colour fandecks and a selection of new colour strengths. It's a best of the best Resene colour collection and is designed to work alongside the existing Resene whites and neutrals collection.

Moving from the existing three chip wide palettes to the two chip wide version, all colour chips run flush to the edge of the page, which makes it easy to compare colours to each other or other swatches or samples. On the back of each palette is colour information including recommended complementary colours.

Each chip is finished in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen, the exact same low sheen waterborne enamel that is used on walls. While most suppliers use printer inks on their colour charts, Resene uses Resene paint tinted with Resene VOC Free tinters which gives a more accurate colour. After all, nothing looks more like paint than the actual paint does.

The new Multi-finish palettes will be rolled out to Resene ColorShops over the coming months. Customers in store will be able to pick up a free copy of their favourite palette/s. Or for specifiers and painters, Resene can collate a full set into handy to use fandecks.

Resene also has electronic swatches and colour files for the new Multi-finish colour range, as well as testpots and drawdowns.
