{{short description|Magazine with full-colour printing packaged with a newspaper}} 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".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.inpublishing.co.uk/articles/whatever-happened-to-gobsmacking-surprise-1235|title=Whatever Happened To Gob-Smacking Surprise?|website=InPublishing|access-date=2019-12-20|date=2012-05-14|first=Peter|last=Jackson}}</ref>
The success of the ''Sunday Times Magazine'' led to other newspapers, both broadsheet and tabloid, adding their own colour supplements,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/no-56-first-sunday-times-colour-supplement/1173406|title=No 56: First Sunday Times colour supplement|website=Campaign|access-date=2019-12-20|date=March 7, 2013}}</ref> beginning in 1964 with ''The Daily Telegraph'' and ''The Observer'' colour supplements, the ''Observer Magazine'' and ''Weekend Telegraph'' (later the ''Telegraph Magazine'').<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Farmer|first=Richard|date=2019-07-03|title=Supplemental Income|journal=Media History|volume=25|issue=3|pages=371–386|doi=10.1080/13688804.2018.1481372|issn=1368-8804|doi-access=free}}</ref>
