Know Your Colour Before Your Next Interview 🎨
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m a big believer in the four-colour methodology and what it can tell us about how we behave, communicate, and connect with others.
We often use it in recruitment to help us understand people better, but it can be just as powerful when you turn that understanding on yourself.
Knowing your own natural style can help you recognise the strengths you bring to a role and, importantly, talk about them with confidence at interview.
🔴 Fiery Red – direct, decisive, and results-focused.
Talk about where you’ve taken ownership, made things happen and delivered results.
🟡 Sunshine Yellow – enthusiastic, sociable, and persuasive.
Show how you build relationships, influence others, and bring energy and ideas.
🟢 Earth Green – supportive, patient and relationship-focused.
Talk about how you build trust, support others, and create strong, lasting relationships.
🔵 Cool Blue – analytical, precise, and considered.
Use examples that demonstrate your attention to detail, preparation, and ability to make well-informed decisions.
There isn’t a right or wrong colour. We’re all a mix of all four colours; we just have our own preferences.
The value is in understanding your natural behavioural preferences and being able to explain how you work, how you communicate and what you bring to a team.
Because “I’m a hard worker” tells an interviewer very little.
A great example of how you add value tells them far more.
Do you know which colour leads for you?
