Saw a post dated in 2015 about some guy with 2.9 gpa, nontarget, no finance internships getting interviews at a bunch of BBs and EBs. He said he stood out because he used nice colors on his resume. Lemme also mention he got CFA level 1 his senior year which probably made a huge difference.
I just wanna know what you guys think about a colorful resume?

I would say he probably had some solid connections or did really well with networking because I highly doubt that colors on his resume were nice enough to overshadow the stats/experiences you mentioned above. I always hear to keep the resume black and white from bankers so I would stick to that if I were you.
You could potentially get dinged for having color on your resume because it's just a "rule" and they may think you're not informed about industry resume standards whereas you won't be dinged for having a black and white one.
Wait, so did he use nice colors or rainbow colors?

That's the post, "nice colors"

No, do not use colors on your resume. Use the template from WSO or BIWS (Breaking Into Wall Street, from the website Mergers and Inquisitions).

Rainbow resume? Is this because of rainbow colours?
