Avoid the "Sample Pot" Cycle
We’ve all been there: you buy 10 test pots, paint patches on the wall, and still can't decide. Or worse, you pick a colour that looked great in the shop, but looks like "hospital green" in your hallway.
The Tauranga Light Factor: Light in the Bay of Plenty is intense. The bright coastal sun can wash out subtle colours or turn warm greys into purple. Our consultants understand local light conditions. We know which "Whites" look crisp in Papamoa and which ones look warm in the Kaimais.
Fast response. Local teams.
Our Consultation Process
Step 1: On-Site Assessment We don't do this over Zoom. We come to your home. We observe the light at different times of day, check the flooring tones, and look at your existing furniture to ensure the new wall colour ties everything together.
Step 2: The Palette Proposal We narrow down the overwhelming choice to 3 professionally curated options for you.
-
The Safe Option: Timeless, neutral, and resale-friendly.
-
The Modern Option: Crisp, high-contrast, and on-trend.
-
The Bold Option: Something unique that reflects your personality.
Step 3: Large Format Testing Forget tiny chips. We can provide A4 "draw-downs" (large painted cards) that you can move around the room to see exactly how the colour reacts to shadow and light.
Fast response. Local teams.

Colour Consultation Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We have technology that can scan a colour from a fabric or photo and match it to the nearest Dulux or Resene paint code.
Absolutely not. It is your home. If you love bright yellow, we will help you find the best version of bright yellow that works in your space. Our job is to guide, not dictate.
