Colour supplement

A colour supplement or colour magazine is a magazine with full-colour printing, typically printed on glossy paper, that is packaged with a newspaper. Some colour supplements are Sunday magazines, but may also be included with a daily newspaper.

The Sunday Times Magazine (originally called the Sunday Times Colour Section) was the first colour supplement to be published as a supplement to a British newspaper in 1962, and its arrival "broke the mould of weekend newspaper publishing".[1]

The success of the Sunday Times Magazine led to other newspapers, both broadsheet and tabloid, adding their own colour supplements,[2] beginning in 1964 with The Daily Telegraph and The Observer colour supplements, the Observer Magazine and Weekend Telegraph (later the Telegraph Magazine).[3]

The Daily Mirror started to include a colour supplement in 1969.[4]
