Resene colour wall at Auckland architecture and design centre, Residium

Initially designed for the Residium Build + Design Day, Resene’s ‘pop-up’ wall is a snapshot of the company’s 80 years of colour and innovation.

“We designed the pop-up to include a range of colours from the ever-popular Whites & Neutrals and Fashion Colours fandecks – along with one or two that may have even been inspired by the soon-to-be-released Curated Colours fandeck – highlighting the range of Resene products and colours for architects and specifiers, as well as homeowners,” says Commercial Colour Consultant, Amy Watkins. 

The visually arresting display comprises more than 50 A4 colour Drawdowns, along with examples from the Resene FX range including Resene Artisan Foundation, Sandtex, and Paint Effects Medium. Rounding out the display are examples from Resene’s wood oils and stains, including the new Woodsman Natural Wood Oil stain, which as the name implies is Resene most natural looking exterior stain.

The Resene Pop-up at Residium will be on display until Friday, 18 December. Amy will be onsite for one-on-one advice and consultations every Thursday from 10am – 12pm until then.

“During that time, bookings are not necessary, however, for anyone not able to meet on a Thursday, I'm more than happy for them to book a time on a different day and I can meet them onsite at Residium.”

Designers, specifiers and DIY customers looking for colour and product advice can take advantage of a free consultation with Resene Commercial Colour Consultant, Amy Watkins at Residium in Auckland. 

This is not the only Resene/Residium collab happening this year. On Thursday, 3 December, Resene Colour Consultant, Hannah Lynch, will be hosting a Colour Confidence with Resene seminar at Residium. Check out the ‘What’s On’ article for more information.

When she’s not providing colour consultation advice at Resene-sponsored events, Amy can be found in the Auckland office working closely with Resene's Project Services, Architectural, and Trade teams, providing colour expertise for large-scale commercial developments, multi-unit residential projects, schools and body corporates.

“I also collaborate with Interior Designers, assisting with paint specifications, product recommendations, colour selections, and technical advice, while keeping the teams informed of the latest Resene products, finishes and innovations to support their creative vision.”

A qualified interior designer and landscape designer herself, Amy began her Resene journey at a ColorShop before progressing into a residential colour consultant role and then commercial colour consultant.
