How The Color You Wear To An Interview Effects Your Chances
Why your brown “power suit” could be making you look passive, why you should ditch Navy if you’re in a creative field and never wear orange.

Navy sends a message of being enterprising, trustworthy, honest and credible, says Davidson. It’s a great choice for industries like law or finance. If you’re interviewing for a more creative environment, however, it could be considered too conservative.

Black is an extremely strong color and is highest on the authority scale.

Brown conveys the message that you’re simple and slow to change.

Gray sends a message of being rock solid, wise, and reliable

Red can send less favorable messages — that you are domineering, rebellious, and obstinate.

White is a reassuring color that can convey a feeling of new beginnings, impartiality, cleanliness.

Green is a color often associated with a sense of calm and wellbeing, as well as wealth and prosperity.

Purple sends a message of being artistic and unique, while yellow signifies optimism and creativity.

Orange, however, topped the CareerBuilder list for the worst color, with 25% of employers saying it was the color most likely to be associated with someone who is unprofessional.
