@Just-B Well darn, now I’m really stuck. I have to do this myself, can’t afford to hire anyone, so I’ll just use one of those generator things until I find a palette that I think will work 
use natural earth tones, i dont remember colors when visiting websites look at this one, blue, white and light blue. the content and graphics are more important, remember you can always change or adjust the colors afterwards.
It all depends on how the pallet goes into application. I’m With PrintDriver in favoring the bottom of the two swatch sets, however neither really hit home with me.
However, I don’t see what your color hierarchy will be in the designs. Meaning, for example, if the Brighter red and yellow appear as the dominant colors, with accents of the tan, I imagine that could work if done well. I have trouble envisioning the brown, as well as both the bright and darker red in the same piece.
Personally I’d have a warm grey (or two) in the mix. Something near neutral (not black) to really fill in the artistic gaps when the piece comes together. These can help draw the eye to the more important swatches, IE your strong Red tones.
Just throwing this out there. Something with neutrality in the mix, maybe more a copper or bronze, than a brown could be appealing.
You could even go with a perfectly neutral grey for a web application. A mid-dark red with a charcoal grey is highly aesthetic, and can appeal to both masculine and feminine parties alike.
Hmm… let me know if that swatch pallet appears correctly, it did when i initially posted it. Did I make the same mistake as the OP?
I don’t get the association of the colors to the content. In addition to your mention of “masculine” and music course, there also seems to be a airline theme. Wouldn’t it be best to have blue skies or to use the colors from famous or historic airlines instead?

i like the second choice BUT my first reaction was desert and Arizona when i saw the image. I would go with blue and skies, That person looks macho enough.
we would use the blotter tool to chose lite to dark colors from our main subject, that guy and base our background and colors with 4 clicks on his torso.
I cannot retire out of this industry fast enough.

Another year, maybe two for me and I’m done. Well, not done, but no longer obliged to work for clients and/or employers I’d rather avoid. Between pensions, investments, passive income and side work I’ll be good. I’m sort of looking forward to it, but the thoughts of an endless summer vacation has me a bit spooked.
I like the color combos, but I also get a very “German” feel also. Might want to add a dark teal (maybe instead of the grey?).
I’ve been splitting ideas into new markets and pushing writing and product development to add to my steady job income. I’m having too much fun to think about retirement lol.
I just came up with a product that might actually be my big paycheck. But before I reveal it here I have to sell the concept and fund it so none of you buttheads stay it lol. - jk

I was laughing when I typed it. Everyone has a good idea once a while. But so few actually make it happen.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but you just never know. I’ve been doing peripheral marketing ideas for a long time and I think I finally have a mass market appeal product. But it’s so easy and obvious that if I say it…
sitting on my hands.
This specific color scheme takes cues from two oppositely polar colors on the color wheel. A color scheme is an association of colors based on an organizing system. When we accomplish this, the outcome is a vibrant, high-contrast color combination that explodes in art and design. In essence, it’s a collection of hues that harmonize well to produce a cohesive style. A color wheel, a matrix of colors used to see how colors connect, can be used to determine our color scheme.
