Magnolia is a colour named after the flowering plant of the genus Magnolia. As magnolias have flowers of more than one colour, mainly cream or pale purple, magnolia may refer to different colours in different countries.

An early use of magnolia as a colour name in English was in 1880, describing it as a "tint of cream-color".[1] In the UK, magnolia is a creamy colour {{Color sample|#F4E9D8}} defined by British Standard BS 08B15, with the sRGB value (244, 233, 216) and CMYK (Coated) value (0, 5, 25, 0).[2] Although the interiors of houses in the UK have commonly been painted in pale "stone colours" since the 18th century, the use of the name "magnolia" only dates from the 1950s.[3]

The Australian Standard AS 2700 definition of magnolia is noticeably more saturated than the British Standard one although its hue and luminosity are nearly the same: {{Color sample|#F0DFC4}} sRGB(240,223,196), HSV(79,16,90)[4]

An alternative definition of the colour was published in America in 1925. Maerz and Paul's A Dictionary of Color depicts three shades which are described as magnolia:{{Color sample|#C08081}} {{Color sample|#905D5D}} {{Color sample|#C48379}} [5]

However magnolia does not appear to be in common use as a colour name in the USA: the UK English Cambridge Dictionary entry for magnolia defines it both as "a type of tree with large, usually white or pink flowers" and "a pale cream colour", but its US English entry refers only to the tree.[6]
