The pink would be good when writing a section for girls or if the magazine was directed at girls, but I don't think it should be used much in the magazine I am creating as it is aimed at both boys and girls. The same goes for purple as it just wouldn't be a colour many boys use, although it would be better than the pink.
This blue again shouldn’t be used too much in the magazine I am creating as it could come across as quite boyish. On the other hand, blue is quite a common colour for both boys and girls in certain circumstances, which means I could maybe use it more than I would use the pink.
Yellow doesn’t tend to show up clearly on white or light coloured backgrounds, which wouldn’t help lure the audience into reading the text. If the text was being written on a dark background such as black, then yes yellow would a useful colour to use.
Red is definitely a colour I would use, as it’s a bright, attention-seeking colour that is appropriate for both boy and girl. It also has the extra effect of sometimes having a meaning behind the text like for example having ‘DANGER’ or ‘STOP’ as it makes you feel the sign it’s giving you. Perhaps it would be the fact red is the colour of blood, that makes ‘danger’ look more effective.
There are many greens that could be useful to use, as again it is a colour that both sexes would like. On the other hand, if the green was quite dark and dull like this for example then it wouldn’t really attract to many girls and would be more appropriate on the boys section, or in fact not even used because a dark and dull colour isn’t very eye catching at all.
