Painter comes Monday and i need to decide the colour for my largish, long and and fairly dark living room. Keeping it light and currently is antique cream (Crown) which i‘ve quite liked. Have used nutmeg white (Dulux) through a lot of the house and am considering that for the living room. Then magnolia just came to mind - are there any lovers of magnolia?

basically looking for a light colour - suggestions welcome - i do like a touch of stone or very light touch of mink

I think the colour your looking for is called cornforth white by farrow and ball it’s an amazing mix of what your after

F and B not worth the money, though. Get a colour match Valspar

Magnolia is different depending on the brand. Dulux trade magnolia is yellowish, but Dulux magnolia was more pinkish in relation to the trade version.

Thank you! I loved the magnolia on the walls of my childhood home, with pink tones, but thought I’d completely got it wrong when I saw new magnolia paint with yellow tones.

Also thanks to PP who suggested natural calico.

just moved into a house that the previous occupant had painted grey everywhere, its awful, there is no direct sun on the house. I am busy painting everything in magnolia, yellow and peach. I love it😀

I like magnolia. It looks nice with crisp white woodwork and it's very flexible with other materials such as oak floors.

I do a lot of home visits as part of my job and have seen some houses that are so full of grey, they look like b&w photos!!!
