White for a Job Interview
White works best in interviews when it plays support, not lead—pair it with Cobalt Blue or Forest Green to let the stronger color convey confidence while White keeps the look grounded and approachable. As a neutral, it won't distract from your presence or what you're saying, which matters when every detail is being read for professionalism. Keep contrast intentional: too much White risks washing out on video or reading as unfinished without a structured anchor color.
