Over the weekend, I submitted my online applications for IBD at a few bulge bracket firms, and I realized that a few of the lines were in dark navy blue. I didn't notice this until after I submitted because it wasn't obvious to my eyes, and nobody who reviewed my resume said anything about it. Could I get dinged for this? I feel that my resume otherwise is pretty strong.

I don't think it makes my resume hard to read by any stretch either.
I submit mine on dark navy paper, with white writing.
I used to go through a lot of ink, then I switched to construction paper. It works out well for me because it is bigger than the typical letter size. I can fit more on the page.
