We all have one of those friends, the type who knows just how to combine paint colours, but what if it’s not your strength? In our new series, we bring you dynamic duos that are made for each other. First up: cloudy blue and tan.
In association with Resene.
Inspiration
Sunset in Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) in the Atacama desert, Chile.
Two’s company
These hues complement each other to sophisticated effect thanks to their similar strength and moody quality. When pairing paint colours, create visual harmony by using varying amounts of each. Here, Resene Hammerhead covers two-thirds of the wall and the top third is painted in Resene Pendragon.
