Orange — joy, and enthusiasm, making it a good choice for positive messaging
White — safety and innocence,
Red — typically associated with power, passion, or energy
Pink/ magenta is a tint/tone of red (adding white to a primary color)
This color scheme is based on the lesbian flag (attached image). Because my magazine is about sapphic relationships (romantic relationships between women), I wanted to incorporate the lesbian flag. I may not end up using these exact colors, but it will be the general color theme. I want this magazine to have a very positive and empowering feel to it. The bolded words are things that resonated with me and encouraged me to use this color palette.
A useful tip I found on the website I used to look for color meanings was to use “a main color for 60% of your design, a secondary color for 30% of your design and an accent color for the last 10%.” I think this will help everything flow well in my magazine, even though the information was meant for an online platform.
