For a teen magazine, bright and bold colors are preferred since the youngsters like funk and they want that special element to brighten up their lives. I have decided to use Teal and Raspberry Pink as the main color components. White brings a style and gives a delicate look. Pink can go with any color palette and adds a beautiful cute look. It basically represents young girls. Pink calms and reassures our emotional energies, alleviating feelings of anger, aggression, resentment, abandonment and neglect. My genre totally agrees with my the colors I have chosen. White is universal. It provides a soothing and a refreshing look. I did a personal research on the graphics and overall schemes. The colors pretty much satisfy me and represents my genre in a meaningful way. The reason I like teal is that it is different. It reflects in a unique way. Not only for the cover, but pink suits many skin tones, as well. Similarly, it's a matter of fashion. A trendsetter. Pink has become so strongly associated with femininity, that when a boy or man wears it it is no longer "just a color", but an act of defiance or personal expression beyond the aesthetic.
I have more ideas about colors, as well. I think parrot colors would be bingo because they are vibrant and add a multiple taste to the genre.
Here are some examples of the color palettes I want to use for my magazine.
