Resume Palette Study

Theme Options

Three stronger directions for the resume site. Each sample uses the same content structure with a different visual identity so we can choose a palette before changing the live page.

Option 1

Editorial Ink

Paper, ink, cobalt, and brass. Cleanest recruiter-facing option.

Michael Smith

AI systems, full-stack engineering, developer tooling, and responsible AI.

Strong editorial contrast with restrained accents. This one reads most like a premium personal dossier.

Option 2

Deep Teal + Copper

Sharper than the current version, but still warm and human.

More product-engineering energy. Still approachable, but less plain and more intentional.

Option 3

Midnight + Electric Cyan

Most technical and modern. Strongest AI/platform signal.

The boldest direction. Best if you want the site to feel contemporary, technical, and clearly AI-oriented.
