Colours to be used..?

From looking at a large number of Horror and Independent horror films. I have seen that the most common colours used were:


Black- usual used to give a strong contrast background
Red: This colour is mainly used in text, ( in my opinion, as this creates a stereotypical horror film image.)

From looking at a large number of SC FI films. I have seen the most common colours used were:


Blue, green, white (text), orange, red and silver.
Black- usually a background colour.- most backgrounds- space
A majority of text also uses a diffuse glow effect on text.
