AI summary

Choosing the right Resene white paint starts with understanding undertones. Decide if your space needs a warm (yellow/red-based) or cool (blue/grey-based) hue.

Use Resene testpots on cardboard to see how colours look in your room's changing light. Generally, cool whites suit bright spaces, while warm whites work well in darker rooms. Consider using different strengths of the same white for a cohesive look.

Finally, select a paint finish, as it affects light reflection and durability.
