For the colours in book there was going be 2 colours used maximum not including stock, The colours had to work with black as that was going to be the body copy and also work on a white paper stock, from the research online red and blue was a good combination with black. Tried both out and placed them next to each other to compare, the red was too over powering and too bright. The blue came out really well not too bright and i didn't over power the black body text however the combination of black body text and white stock really made the blue look clean and bold.
Putting the layout together with the image made the blue seem more brighter, i then remembered that a book called Type Only had blue text and blue pages, the blue used was more darker and dull. Looking on the pantone colours, found a dull blue similar to the one in the book and applied this to the layout and it came out well and sited well with the black body text and white stock.
