Confident Colour

A new approach to colour starts here.

Independent, expert-led guidance to demystify paint colour. Pigment creates cohesive palettes that give you clarity, confidence and a clear plan forward.

Every home has a story to tell but finding the right words can be daunting. You stand in a room, a stack of paint swatches in hand, faced with a hundred shades of white, each whispering a different promise. The inspiration is there - on your Pinterest boards, in your memories but a gap exists between the vision in your mind and the confidence to bring it to life.

This is where Pigment begins.

  • No. We’re completely independent and brand-agnostic, meaning we work across all major paint brands in New Zealand to find the best fit for your project.

  • A colour consultation is a 90-minute session (either in person or virtual) creating a full paint colour scheme with schedules and samples. A Colour Edit is a 45-minute video conversation to refine or validate your ideas, giving you direction without the full documentation.

  • Yes, often designers come to Pigment for an independent review of their colour schemes. Sometimes it’s about refining undertones or sequencing, other times making sure the palette flows with furniture and finishes. We can also provide cross-brand options, sheen guidance and a clear client-ready paint schedule. A second set of eyes saves you time and gives confidence that your palette feels resolved.

  • Absolutely. We create cohesive interior and exterior schemes so your home feels consistent and considered from the inside out.

  • We offer virtual sessions nationwide and occasionally travel within New Zealand for in-home consultations. If you’re outside Auckland, just get in touch and we’ll let you know what options are available.

Amie White reviewing paint swatches and material samples during a colour consultation at Pigment, Auckland NZ

Pigment was founded to bridge the gap between full service interior design and the limited advice available in retail paint stores. We saw homeowners overwhelmed by choice, painters slowed down by client indecision and designers who wanted to push colour further but didn’t have the time or tools to do so.

I love every single room, and I couldn't be happier with the results”

  • We had a sense of what we wanted but not the confidence to get there. Left to our own devices we probably would’ve defaulted to white, listened to everyone else and played it safe.”
