Limitations - Colour

The type of colour a channel uses does not only identify its target audience - it is also for the ability for it to visually appeal to anyone watching it. If a channel chooses to use bright colours it must be careful that it does not use any colours that may cause eye strain, making it difficult for viewers to look at what is on screen. 



 Here is an example from CBeebies, as although it contains bright colours (the blue and pink backgrounds) it still has bright yellow blobs that stand out, leading viewers to focus on the screen. This is effective as CBeebies' target audience is young children, therefore they will be drawn to brighter colours and the bright, moving characters.
