Initial Ideas For Magazine Colour Scheme

After anlysing several different music magazines it is evident different colour schemes are used on each magazine. In particular rock magazines like the ones i analysed consist mainly of the colours black and red and then a colour of contrast for a more appealing colour scheme.\. Therefore my initial ideas for colour schemes are 

1.  BLACK //RED// YELLOW

-This colour scheme follows the typical rock colour scheme and therefore is suitable for my magazine, the yellow adds some contrast and excitement. However this may look too much due to the clash of colours and therefore may appeal to a teen audience as oppose to my target audience of around 20-30. This is similar to the NME magazine which again is aimed at a younger audience of teenagers and therefore may not be suitable for my magazine.

2.  BLACK//RED//WHITE

-This colour scheme is similar to the one used on Q which works very well to attract a more mature audience, and therefore is suitable for my magazine. The colours all compliment eachother and are all typical rock colours. With the black presenting a dark edgy mood, the red sexy and passion and the white which brightens the page. 

3. BLACK//RED//BLUE

- This colour scheme is different as the blue is strong contrast to the red. It would create an edgy unique look to my magazine but still keeping with the rock them as it has the conventional black and red colours. 

4. BLACK//RED//GREY

- This colour scheme would be suitable for my target audience as it is quite suttle and not too hectic and bright. However my target audience are still of a young age and this may be slightly boring for them.
