AI summary

Choosing the right Resene white paint starts with understanding undertones. Warm whites have yellow or red bases, while cool whites have blue or grey bases. Consider your room's lighting—cool whites suit bright spaces, while warmer whites work well in darker areas.

Always test colours using Resene testpots on your walls. For a cohesive look, use different strengths of the same white. Also, consider the paint finish; low-sheen options like Resene SpaceCote hide imperfections, while gloss is durable and easy to clean.
