Color that helps instead of distracts

One accent, used consistently, is the rule. The Blue Professional Resume uses navy headings on a one-page layout. The Green Resume Template and Free Green Resume Template take two different approaches to a green accent. The Colorful Professional Resume puts the color in a sidebar, and the Navy Gold Two-Column Resume pairs two tones. If you want a photo as well, the Colorful Resume with Photo combines both.

Changing the palette

All of these apply color through heading and paragraph styles. Change the style once and every heading updates. Keep body text black or dark gray for print and screen readability. If you decide color isn't right for the application, the modern resume templates offer similar structures with subtler accents, and the minimalist layouts drop color entirely.

Common questions

Is color OK for an ATS resume?

Yes. Parsers ignore color. Just don't place text inside colored shapes or images.

Which colors are safest?

Navy, teal, forest green and charcoal read as professional in almost any industry.

Will the color print correctly?

Export to PDF and check. Very light tints can disappear on black-and-white printers.
