You shouldn't include colour in your CV, unless used sparingly to draw attention to key aspects of the document. For example, highlighting headings in a pale shade of blue can ensure your CV's sections are clearly separated. But colour isn't necessary in your CV and it is something you should avoid in large quantities.

Can I add colour to my CV?

You can be creative by slightly enlarging your name at the top of the CV, using a different font or colour to the rest of the text. Be sure to use colour sparingly and restrict it to no more than one colour in addition to black.

What is the best color for a CV?

Color theory

Black and white create the highest contrast possible, so it is considered one of the best color schemes to use on a resume. You can choose a pale background and intensive dark lettering. Just keep in mind that your resume may be printed in black and white, so don't use pale on pale.
