Colour

Throughout a magazine, there are usually 3-5 consistent colours. The colours used may depend on the season. For example, in Spring, a magazine might use blues, pinks, yellows and greens. Usually magazines would choose a colour scheme which matches the weather at that time.

There are certain colours which probably wouldn't usually be put together. For example yellow and green wouldn't be placed on top of each other.

This is a colour wheel.

Magazines also use basic colours, however not ones which would clash because this makes it harsh on the eye and people may not be able to read what's written, and this could be down to an eye disorder such as colour-blindness.
