2. Tints, Shades, and Tones
• A colour made lighter by adding white is a tint
• If black is added, the darker version is called a
shade
• When gray is added, the result is a different
tone.
3. Tonal Colour Schemes
• The use of just one colour but varying tones or
use more than one colour but all with the
same depth of tone.
4. Harmonious Colour Schemes
• Picking colours next to each other or near
each other on the wheel
• Generally give a look that's easy on the eye
5. Complementary Colour Schemes
• Using colours that lie opposite each other on
the colour wheel
• Tend to inject life make more of an impact
• Might not be so easy on the eye
6. Typical Music Magazine Colour Schemes
•Tonal colours black and white with
contrasting red used to make areas stand
out
Planned Colour Scheme
•I want the colours to be very typical of a
magazine and so will use different shades of
black with contrasting red and tints of blue
7. Colour Codes
Red: #f91616
White: #ffffff
Black: #000000
Blue: #2d2d4f
These are the colour codes for the colours I
have chosen to use. I will mainly be using
the red, white and black however the blue
will be used sparingly for the images
