You do not want to look like you are going to a funeral, but you don’t want to look like a clown, either. While color choice actually depends on the type of job you are looking for, there are some colors that just would not cut it.
Here are some tips for making sure you don’t leave a wrong impression on your interviewer.
Orange
No matter how much you like orange color, stay away. People have
automatic reactions to some specific sights, sounds, and colors. Parr asserts
that the color orange has the lowest correlation with confidence. A lack of
confidence is the last thing you want to convey to a potential employer, so
steer clear of this hue on the big day. In a survey conducted by Harris
Interactive for CareerBuilder, 25% of employers said orange was the worst color
a job candidate could wear because they associated the color with someone who
is unprofessional. Orange is not a new black when it comes to job interviews.
Red
Bright colors like red can cause very strong feelings, and they
are often not positive when it comes to job interviews. It’s better to stay
away from colors that can be seen from clear across the room. Hiring managers
tend to love or hate red, so only choose red if you are comfortable with risk.
Unless you are a crime fighter or going on a date, red is not your color.
Brown
Brown may seem like a safe color, but many hiring managers don’t
care for this shade. Although this color inclines to be associated with
reliability and comfort, this may backfire during interview at a fast-paced
company. An interviewer could get the impression that you are resistant to
change and would insist on doing things the way they have always been done. So
ditch the cuddly bear look, and opt for a strong color like navy instead.
