The mood of May

07 May 2026

Color Marketing Group (CMG) have announced their most recent colour alert for May, named Nourish. If you’re into warm, yellowy greens then we’ve got just the right Resene colours to help you bring it to life at home.

Nourish is a medium-chroma, green-infused yellow. It radiates a sense of renewal that feels both grounded and forward-looking. It carries the freshness of emerging flora and the optimism of morning light, blending vitality with calm assurance. In home interiors, its green undertone roots it in balance and a connection to nature, while the yellow influence lifts it toward creativity with an energetic feel.

Add a warm tropical twist to your bathroom with a design like Resene V & A Wallpaper Collection 2311-167-03. Here you’ll find tones inspired by Nourish, where warm greens are paired with darker greens and pops of oranges and blues.

These walls are painted in the earthy yellow of Resene Ginko, paired with flooring in Resene Colorwood Breathe Easy, a table in Waiouru and a pop of Vibe on the vase. Project by Moneuan Ryan, image by Bryce Carleton.

If you’re looking for other colours to try similar to Nourish, give these a go: Resene Spring Fever, Billy T, Bird Flower and Funk.
