I used to think Magnolia was an off white colour of paint. Just bought some Dulux and it's PEACH! Got some Leyland Magnolia paint and it's YELLOW! Where are the standards!

Q. What's a Catholic priest and a pint of Guinness got in common?
A. A black coat, white collar and you've got to watch your arse if you get a dodgy one!

Magnolia is supposed to be pinkish-peach.

BS 381C: Colours for identifications, coding and special purposes
BS 4800: Selection of colours from BS 5252F to be used within paint.
AFAICS Magnolia is not a standard colour.

The title of BS 4800:2011 is now "Schedule of paint colours for building

purposes." Since this only gives CIE colorimetric values you'll also
need the colour matching fan, BS 4800F:2011 - a snip at only GBP200...
And don't forget BS 1710:1984 "Specification for identification of
pipelines and services."
Interesting that these seem to have escaped the Euro-harmonisation
process (so far). Some|many|most [1] trade paint places will mix you
RAL colours though.
[1] The Dulux decorator centres will, for sure.

You can print your own fan cards (subject to home printing colour
tolerances....) at

Supermarkets do some too, noticed Asda do 5L Magnolia Matt for £5...

silly fools, should label some cans Organic Barley White and charge
twice as much for the different label.

Glad to have been of service :-)

Dulux (which is meant to be a good paint?!?) has no code on it.
Dulux: http://www.dulux.co.uk/colour/magnolia
(This looks exactly like my wall I painted with Dulux).
Leyland: http://www.leyland-paints.co.uk/leylandtrade_viewcolours.asp
(The wall I painted with Leyland Magnolia looks half way between their magnolia and their County Cream)
I put most of the difference down to the Leyland paint having been stored below zero (not by me!).
But the two webpages show a slightly different Magnolia, and the Dulux tin has no code on it.
The average HB pencil can draw a line 4 miles long.

Not a trace of pink in mine. Creamy.

Makes a change from arsenic green I suppose.
