Yes, when it comes to personalizing your resume, you can draw attention to some elements by using colors. Just make sure that these are professionally safe, like blue, or dark shades of red or green. It’s best that you avoid strong vivid colors like yellow, orange or neon green for example, as these may not be a good fit for the standard work environment. Another reason why we recommend using dark, conventional colors is that you don’t have control over how your CV will be forwarded to hiring managers, and it’s possible that any styling may be lost or transformed into grayscale.
