TRUE COLOURS • Selected Kiwi makers have joined with PPG Paints to create their own bespoke collections. Tracey Tawhiao (Ngāi Te Rangi, Whakatōhea, Ngāti Tūwharetoa), whose work spans painting, poetry, moving image and sculpture, is one of them, and shared with us the stories her palette tells.

For example, you could ground your space with the deepest hue, Papatūānuku, then drench your walls with dawn-inspired HinetĪtama before layering in textiles, furniture and objects in tactile materials of similar saturation, for a colour-blocked effect that’s rich in feeling.
