We are repainting three bedrooms and the hallway and need a light coloured paint on the walls that will complement our dark brown carpet. I was wondering about Resene Eighth Tea but am worried that might be too stark a contrast. Could you recommend any other light colours that might go with dark brown?

Apart from Resene Quarter Tea you might also consider Resene Eighth Bison Hide, Resene Eighth Joss or Resene Albescent White. If they are used with pure Resene White ceilings and woodwork trims you will see some lovely warm light depth of colour.
