Colour Representation

In rock music magazines, the predominant colours are:

• Black
• White 
• Red
• Yellow
• Baby Blue 

All of the above are used for a specific reason...

Black and white are used because they are easy to read. They can also be a symbolism of death and danger, i.e.

Red can also be used to symbolise danger and violence. It is the colour of blood and is often associated with anger. There are many real life signs and symbols which use the colour red - 

Yellow is also used in various signs, and usually used to warn people of hazardous conditions or danger. Here are some examples - notice that in some cases, red and yellow is used together -

Rock is usually represented by very masculine men, hence the use of the colour blue. (However in the case of NME, baby blue is more feminine to attract females)...
