Magnolia

Magnolia is a color named after the flowering plant of the genus Magnolia. As magnolias have flowers of more

than one color, mainly cream or pale purple, magnolia may refer to different colors in different countries.

 

An early use of magnolia as a colour name in English was in 1880, describing it as a "tint of cream-color".

 

In the UK, magnolia is a creamy colour defined by British Standard BS 08B15, with the sRGB value (244, 233, 216)

and CMYK (Coated) value (0, 5, 25, 0).[2] Although the interiors of houses in the UK have commonly been painted

in pale "stone colours" since the 18th century, the use of the name "magnolia" only dates from the 1950s.

 

The Australian Standard AS 2700 definition of magnolia is noticeably more saturated than the British Standard

one although its hue and luminosity are nearly the same; sRGB(240,223,196), HSV(79,16,90)

 

An alternative definition of the colour was published in America in 1925. Maerz and Paul's A Dictionary of

Colour depicts three shades which are described as magnolia however magnolia does not appear to be in

common use as a colour name in the USA:=.

 

The UK English Cambridge Dictionary entry for magnolia defines it both as "a type of tree with large, usually

white or pink flowers" and "a pale cream colour", but its US English entry refers only to the tree.

Violet Red

 

The color violet red is a bright tone of red-violet, it has been a Crayola color since 1958.

 

Red-violet or pigment purple (pigment red-violet) represents the way the color purple (red-violet) was

normally reproduced in pigments, paints, or colored pencils in the 1950s on an old-fashioned RYB color

wheel.

 

The normalized color coordinates for red-violet are identical to medium violet red, which was first recorded

as a color name in English with the formalization of the X11 color names over 1985–1989.

 

By the 1970s, because of the advent of psychedelic art, artists became used to brighter pigments, and

pigments called "purple" or "bright purple" that are the pigment equivalent of electric purple became

available in artist's pigments and colored pencils.

 

Reproducing electric purple in pigment requires adding some white and a small amount of blue to red-violet

pigment. Even then, the reproduction will not be exact, because it is impossible for pigment colors to be so

bright as colors displayed on a computer.
