Resene Golden Sand Resene Allports Resene Limerick Resene Poppy Resene Truffle Resene Grey Friars ‘neutral’ colours can include colours like the green- edged grey Resene Tasman, and Resene Half Rice Cake. The judges called it “simply beautiful”. The Residential Exterior award went to a house dubbed The Fairy Tale House (left) by its Wellington owner Daphne Carvalho whose love of bright colour has played out in a colour palette of Resene Golden Sand, Resene Allports, Resene Limerick and Resene Poppy. Rather than disguise the house’s odd shape, it was celebrated in colour. The judges noted that the house is cheerful and fun, and is guaranteed to make you smile. The Multi-Residential Exterior award went to Opus Architecture for the Kotuku Flats upgrade for the Wellington City Council (left). A neutral scheme of Resene Grey Friars, Resene Double Alabaster and Resene Truffle is punctuated by rich accents in Resene Buddha Gold, Resene Pohutukawa, Resene Koru and Resene Bellbottom Blue. The judges commented that the colours were “placed to perfection”. A special Creative in Colour award was given to Brigid Sinclair of Whangarei for her fanciful flower- covered home (opposite left). With no background in art, she transformed the exterior of her house with a selection of Resene colours and botanic motifs. It’s now the talk of the town. The judges called it a “fabulous showcase of the difference you can make with paint, colour and imagination”.

The exhibition was installed in a long narrow gallery, which required creative cultural ingenuity to create the feeling of being inside a traditional Maori meeting house – wharenui. Panels framed the artworks, painted in Resene Black, Resene Black Marlin, Resene Racing Green, Resene Deep Teal, Resene Sonic Boom, Resene Blackberry and Resene Vanquish.
