What color is Dulux Magnolia?
Dulux Magnolia 20YY 83/100 is a very light, warm off-white with a creamy beige cast and a gentle yellow-peach undertone. Its high lightness keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a softly muted appearance. In north-facing or cooler daylight, Magnolia may look more like a pale biscuit neutral; warmer afternoon light brings out its creamy side. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a softer alternative to white is wanted, especially across large wall areas. Pair it with natural oak, warm white trim, woven linen, terracotta details, or deeper mushroom and olive accents.

What are Dulux Magnolia undertones?
Magnolia is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Magnolia
Magnolia has an LRV of 83% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 83%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
