Magnolia is a color generally considered to be a very pale/foggy yellowish-white. It is named after the flowering plant of the genus Magnolia, itself named for the French botanical expert Pierre Magnol.

Magnolia is noted (in the UK) as being the 'standard' colour of household paint, other than white. It is a neutral colour which makes newly painted rooms appear bigger and brighter. This is thought to improve your home's appeal and saleability. As such, it is available in bulk quantities at discounted rates and is often associated with new-build homes and rented accommodation.
