Colour Scheme Ideas

For my colour scheme, I have tried to avoid the more common black, white and red. I have decided instead that I will chose between the following two colour schemes:

These both would fit the genre of alternative rock in the magazine, and also be mysterious and edgy. A connotation of purple is spirituality, but by using a dark purple, this should cool down the eye-catching black and white and seem more powerful. By using black, a connotations could be rebellion and mystery, which could also relate to the style inspired by Bam. The second option would make the magazine look more simple, but darker. The grey could contribute to a neutral element.
