The best background colour for a profile picture

Updated

A plain, light, muted colour works best: soft blue, light grey or white keep the focus on your face and look professional at small sizes. Pick a colour that contrasts with your hair and clothes, and use the same picture everywhere.

Good choices

  • Soft blue: calm and professional; the most common choice on LinkedIn.
  • Light grey: neutral, works with any outfit and skin tone.
  • White: clean, but can blend into white page backgrounds.
  • A muted brand colour: good for founders and creators.

What to avoid

  • Busy rooms, offices or outdoor scenes that pull attention from your face.
  • Colours that match your hair or clothes, so you blend in.
  • Very bright or saturated colours that look harsh in a small circle.
