Be inspired… by food

Colour is all around us – on our walls, in nature and at our table. When you’re planning a Resene colour scheme, there are so many examples of great colour combos just outside our door, or in our kitchens.

Heading into autumn and winter is the perfect time to be inspired by the warm, spicy, nutty, hearty colours of the foods that we prepare. Cinnamon walls anyone? Or pumpkin, nut, chocolate, latte or pistachio?

The vocabulary of food permeates so many aspects of our life. Resene has some delicious paint names based on food: Resene Jalapeno, Resene Miso, Resene Gin Fizz, Resene Coriander, Resene Nougat, Resene Clotted Cream… and that’s just from the latest fandeck collection.

We’ve taken some images from the latest issue of Dish magazine, and come up with some yummy colour schemes to match. This issue of Dish, on sale now, is all about Italy and celebrating Italian food.

These three recipes can be found here: www.dish.co.nz/recipes/collection/resene-inspired-colour
