An unlikely colour combo

Yellow is one of the colour accents of the moment, sizzling out of accessories, interiors and on feature pieces like painted walls and furniture. The latest Resene fandeck is rich with yellows like Resene Teddy and Resene Wild Thing seen here on our mood boards, as well as new colours like the neon-bright Resene Bright Lights and golden yellow Resene Starstruck.

Yellow can be a tricky colour to marry up. It always looks great with crisp white, and beachy blues are another option. But what else? Grey and red may not spring to mind but, as stylist Vanessa Nouwens proves, they really work.
