[edit] Purplish or Yellowish?

The paint colour 'magnolia' is pretty different from the colour magnolia depicted here (more a very pale peach). This could be my monitor, although it is calibrated. Should I edit the page to mention this?Paul E Nolan 23:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I came to this discussion page for the same reason. UK Magnolia paint is closer to "Cosmic Latte" or "Old Lace" on that page than the "Magnolia". See also the picture of the Magnolia plant on that page Sweavo 12:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, updated UK-specific info with a pic of a flowering magnolia. Maybe US paint is the same as UK, but someone else will have to refactor in that case. Browsing the web there seems to be a case for either hue. How confusing! Sweavo 17:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Authority for template?

Are those colors in the template from the X window colors? Or are they browser-interpreted? Sweavo 12:36, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

-- I sent a message to the author of the template to ask where those RGB values were from.
