How do you pick a resume colour that works?
Colourful templates use a bold accent across headers, bands, sidebars or headings to make the resume memorable at a glance. They suit creative, marketing, hospitality, teaching, start-up and customer-facing roles, where personality is part of the fit. Every design lets you change the accent in the builder, so you can match a brand colour or tone it down for a formal application without retyping. Choose a colour with enough contrast that white or dark text stays easy to read, and check how it looks printed in black and white, since many interviewers still read a paper copy.
