How do I change my resume colour theme?

Last updated 1 April 2026

In the Resume Builder, find the Colour theme section in the left panel.

You will see 6 preset colour swatches.

Available colours:

  • Teal (default, recommended for most roles)
  • Blue (safe for corporate roles)
  • Purple (creative and tech roles)
  • Coral or Orange (design and marketing)
  • Dark charcoal (executive and conservative roles)
  • Rose (fashion, hospitality, lifestyle brands)

Custom colour is a Pro feature. Click the rainbow circle to enter any hex code.

Which colour should you use?

  • Tech and engineering: Teal or Blue
  • Finance, banking, consulting: Dark charcoal or Blue
  • Marketing and design: Purple, Coral, or custom
  • Healthcare: Blue or Teal
  • For most Indian companies: Teal or Blue is safest

Colour does not affect your ATS score. ATS systems read text only, not colours.

Colour affects human reviewers after your resume passes the ATS filter.

Free plan: access to the first two colour presets (Teal and Blue).

Pro plan: all colours plus custom colour input.
