Colour Scheme Research & Ideas

Colour Schemes for pop magazines a generally very bright and also quite feminine. This is because the target audience for pop magazines tend to be young teenage girls and boys (mostly girls) and so these colours appeal to this group of people more than others. For example, a pop magazine would be filled with pinks, blues and purples rather than browns, blacks and occasionally reds too.

On a magazine, the colour scheme is usually a combination of no more than 3 colours - this is so that the magazine doesn't look too cluttered and also so that the magazine can create a "house style".

I think that this colour scheme would work really well on a pop magazine as it is not gender specific and it also includes primary colours which keeps the magazine very simple for younger audiences.



I also like this colour scheme, it is very feminine and so would probably not appeal to many male readers - which, for this genre, would not be much of a problem. They are different shades of pinks which means that they would work well together on a printed page and follows the conventions of a pop magazine house style.





This colour scheme is one of my favourites, it is a lot more than the recommended three but all colours work really well together and there are a lot of contrasts in this aswell which means that there will be no clashes and also means that the content on the page will stand out a lot more.

The colours are pastel colours which would make the page seem very simple and basic, this is so that even though there are a few more colours it will not look cluttered or "scruffy".
