From my survey results, my magazine will have different shades of brown for its color scheme. As I began to a deeper reasearch of brown, I agreed with my audience.

For example, Michelle Obama has influenced many women from her honesty, reliability, comforting tone, and more.  Graphic from Canva.com  Resources:  https://www.verywellmind.com/ https://colorpsychologymeaning.com/
