Resene colour chart archive

Prior to 1980 the paint colour range was much more limited than today’s colour palettes. Click on a chart below to get a taste for colours from older Resene colour charts, including some from over 40 years ago. If you happen to have an old Resene colour chart that is not shown, we’d love to get a copy to add to our archive.  Please send to Marketing Dept, Resene Paints Ltd, PO Box 38242, Wellington Mail Centre, Lower Hutt 5045, New Zealand.

NB. These charts are from the Resene historical file. Please refer to current Resene colour charts for the latest colour options. You’ll need Acrobat Reader. The current charts can also be ordered online.
