House Colour theme!

After looking at many different magazines i have noticed that most of the colour themes consist of black, red and white. As i would like my magazine to stand out from the crowd and look individual i need to make my colour theme different to the typical colours used in a music magazine.

Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown (black holes). It usually has a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor, 'black death'). Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.
I will use black on my front cover for my text.

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

I think that red is used purley to stand out on magazine covers, but other colours can be just as effective. Also i am goi ng to try and stay away from red as it is used very often on front covers of magazines.

Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, emotion and heaven.

I think that i will be using this colour in my magazine as not many music magazines use this colour and also, as this colour represents emotional feeling it links with the type of music my magazine will be advertising. The artists in my chosen genre of music usually write songs about their own life experiences which are sometimes quite emotional which means this would be a good colour to use on my magazine.

Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning.

I will maybe use a small amount of yellow to highlight important words to make them stand out more on my front cover, but i will try not to use to much of this colour as it is a little over powering when used a lot.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.
Green has great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance. Green, as opposed to red, means safety; it is the color of free passage in road traffic.

These are just someexamples of some colours with their meanings, so when i am thinking about chosing my house colour theme i will need to chose an apporipriate colour whih fits in with the mood and style of my muisc genre and magazine style.
