November’s nuance: A purple your home will love

12 Nov 2025

We’re bringing you the latest colour trend that’s emerged for the month of November from Color Marketing Group (CMG). It’s a deep, rich tone, one that you’re sure to want to squeeze into your home, and we can show you just how with Resene paints and wallpaper.

CO.EXIST is resilient, transcendent and powerful. It’s deep, rich and vibrant, a striking balance of red and blue. Co-Exist emerged from Color Marketing Group® meetings as a response to complexity and contradiction. It is a hue of balance, neither loud nor timid. It evokes compassion and concern without vulnerability, expressing quiet strength and purpose across homes and aesthetics.

Used in small doses on accessories or architectural features, or larger surfaces like walls and ceilings, it brings both sophistication and warmth. Find this hue in shades like Resene Plum, Resene Blackcurrant, Resene Grapevine and Resene Honey Flower:

Here’s two ideas for this colour trend using Resene Infinity 2 Wallpaper Collection IF2-025 and Resene Grapevine to give you a head start on using this hue:

Make your own homemade artwork and incorporate a burst of purple for summer. Purple also works well with light buttery yellows like Resene Moondance on this frame. The art is painted in Resene Grapevine, Resene Koru and Resene Half Black White. Project by Amanda Montgomerie, image by Bryce Carleton.

Add a contemporary touch in your home, with a dash of CO.EXIST’s hue, by using a design like Resene Infinity 2 Wallpaper Collection IF2-025. This design would pair well with crisp whites like Resene Black White and Resene Alabaster.
