According to homeowner Siobhan McKenna-Murphy, her local Resene ColorShop had never sold her colour of choice as an exterior before. “They were pretty amused, but loved the outcome.” The colour in question? Resene Lumbersider Low Sheen Waterborne Exterior in Resene Bright Spark, described as a hot sizzle of yellow. For the trim, they went with Resene Lustacryl Waterborne Enamel Exterior paint in Resene Black White. Their Central Plateau home, which is located in Waimarino, now looks like the sunniest house on the street.
