Colour schemes

I went into Kuler to look for colour schemes for my work. I typed in a few key words, like communits, russia, soviet, war, world war, cold war and so on. I got a lot of things back, but ive decided on one, and here it is... With my attempt of talking about it on the web..

This colour scheme works really well, because the era I have chosen is Russian world war two. A lot of the posters featured at this time in Russia, had a lot of blacks and reds. This may have been because ink was expensive, and red and black ink came cheap, but it was also because of the emotive connotations of the colours. Red is very strong, and can mean both compaction and brutality, and this is what the Russians wanted to strike into their country men. This colour scheme works only on the bases of the red, and the the rest of the colours are there to back up what the red is trying to tell us.
