Color schemes

A good color scheme is crucial. It must unify the medium (in this case the magazine) and lead a reader's eye around the page without being overwhelming. After putting together/researching several color schemes, I decided on the number 1. It is enticing, lighthearted, and yet professional. Deep, warm colors like #57102C and #A92159 are passionate while #4CA8A1 (I decided to leave #7EC2AA out) and #BCC747 add contrast and interest. 

I have not yet decided what color to assign to each topic (art, music, dance and food).
