AVOID Crown Emulsion paint

So is the paint you uised totally different to the colour swatch, the colour on the tub or the colour in the brochure?

I've never seen pink magnolia. But if I adjusted my monitor and looked on a website then I suppose I could get it to look pink

Each manufacturers version of a particular colour is different, and that goes for magnolia

I am not overly impressed with Crown paints in general.
Bought some pure brilliant white fast drying satinwood - as there was nothing else in the shop.
really poor quality paint. poor coverage (needed 3 coats to cover old yellowing white woodwork )and very odd rough to the touch finish which is more like undercoat. not a "satin" finish at all. Avoid Crown!

I would agree that there is a hint of pink in magnolia, but only a tiny tiny tiny tiny hint of it - but I wouldn't ever think of it as a shade of pink in itself, it's cream really.

Discovered this too with a lot of magnolia paints. The hint of peach/pink has gone, so ended up mixing it with white for a kinda stone shade, not quite white, not quite cream.

I'll agree with the OP on this one , I wanted a creamy coloured paint for my daughters bedroom so bought this and did one wall before deciding it was just wasnt right , more beige/yellow than cream but not yellow enough to be lemon (which would have also been suitable) . great paint if your not too worried about it being the right colour though

Depends on what colour you want though.
My daughter bought this and it was just the exact shade she wanted.
Good quality paint though regardeless of colour.
