Classic good looks

For a classic look, pair Marley Stratus Design Series^® Stormcloud^® spouting with RP80^® downpipes in Grey Friars^® and weatherboards in Resene Triple Black White. Resene Triple Black White is a light grey that accentuates architectural features and cladding, without the glare of a pure white. Resene Alabaster on trims, soffits and architraves pops against the weatherboards and spouting while Resene Pohutukawa on the front door is a cheerful way to welcome you home.

Blue horizons

Grey and blue are a timeless combination which evokes sea and sky. Marley Stratus Design Series^® Stormcloud^® spouting with RP80^® downpipes in Grey Friars^® and seaside blue grey Resene Longitude on the weatherboards are a pairing that creates coastal charm. Resene Space Cadet on the front door adds a splash of style and Resene Solitude on the soffits and trims adds a further hint of blue.

Forest bathing

Greens are a huge design trend and Grey Friars^® in the Marley Stratus Design Series^® complements a range of Resene greens, including Resene Inside Back on weatherboards or Resene Cutty Sark on your front door. Resene Rice Cake is a white with a touch of green making it ideal for soffits, architraves, and trims.

With the Marley Stratus Design Series^® and Resene you’ll find a colour combination for your exterior which you won’t be able to wait to come home to.
