Employers might interview dozens of people for one position, so the first impressions are more important than ever. Interviewees must pay attention to everything from what you wear and how you are groomed to your body language. One overlooked and most important aspect of an interviewee's first impression is color of your clothing which sends a subconscious message to the interviewer about your personality.
The right colors can help convey your confidence, professionalism and your ability to fit into an organization's environment. Below are a few tips for choosing the right colors for your interview attire.
1-Choose solids over patterns
You want to wear something that allows the interviewer to focus on your skills and qualifications rather than your wacky style. Wearing solid colors helps ensure that your clothes will not distract . Solid navy, dark gray, and black suits and dresses in particular look professional without being distracting.
2-Choose neutrals over brights
For your attire; if you wear a very brightly colored suit or dress, you will almost certainly be remembered for your outfit rather than your job qualifications . So, Neutral colors - navy, gray, black, and brown - are the best colors for a job interview. White is also an excellent color for a blouse or button-down shirt.
3-Know the office environment
You need to do a bit of research on the company's work environment before your interview. You want to wear colors that show you will fit in with the company's culture. In an office that tends to dress more conservatively, you should definitely stick to neutral, solid colors.
It would be an official dress code which is globally accepted, type of job, location, in some cases traditional format could be helped or considered carefully before taking a final decisions on any dress code.
Dress colour is not important for me but rather multi talented skills are highly considered.
I think that black and white collar, because black and .white basic and beautiful colour
My option -navy, gray, black, and brown - are the best colors for a job interview.
For me it's better and safer to go for plain corporate colors like navy blue, charcoal grey/grey, and black and white. You can never go wrong with black in all types of interviews. But of course you have to take into consideration they type of job you're going for an interview and as well the dress code and culture too.
Thanks for invitation , the white color is the most best color

The right colors can help convey your confidence, professionalism and your ability to fit into an organization's environment. Below are a few tips for choosing the right colors for your interview attire.
Choose Solids Over Patterns
An important rule of thumb is to try not to be remembered for your attire; you want to wear something that allows the interviewer to focus on your skills and qualifications rather than your wacky style. Wearing solid colors helps ensure that your clothes will not distract.
Solid navy, dark gray, and black suits and dresses in particular look professional without being distracting. Small patterns, like thin pinstripes, are okay as well; the rule of thumb is to select a pattern that is small enough that it looks like a solid from across a room.
Choose Neutrals Over Brights
Again, you do not want to be remembered for your attire; if you wear a very brightly colored suit or dress, you will almost certainly be remembered for your outfit (rather than your job qualifications). Neutral colors - navy, gray, black, and brown - are the best colors for a job interview. White is also an excellent color for a blouse or button-down shirt.
You can certainly add a pop of color to a neutral interview outfit. Pale colors are a great way to add color without appearing too authoritative, and are great for people-friendly jobs such as service positions.
For example, a pale blue blouse under a woman's dark gray suit can subtly soften a look. A splash of bright, bold color (such as a red scarf or tie) conveys authority, and can be great for managerial positions. However, limit the number of brightly colored items to one, and make sure it is not the dominant color of your outfit. No bright orange suits!
Know the Office Environment
Do a bit of research on the company's work environment before your interview. You want to wear colors that show you will fit in with the company's culture. In an office that tends to dress more conservatively, you should definitely stick to neutral, solid colors.
However, in more casual offices, such as some startups and nonprofit organizations, you can feel comfortable wearing a bit more color. Softer colors (such as a pale blue blouse) in particular work well for more casual offices, because they convey a bit of personality without being overwhelming. If you are applying for a job in fashion, or a sales job at a unique clothing store, you might feel free to be a bit more creative in your coloring to show your sense of style.
If you are in any doubt about the company's culture, it is best to dress conservatively, with neutral, solid colors.
What Different Colors Say
Different colors evoke particular human responses, whether or not we are conscious of them. Below is a list of different colors you might want to wear for an interview, and the emotions they can evoke. Picking the right colors can help you present yourself in a particular way.
Brown - Brown is a neutral color that evokes feelings of calm. It is a great solid, neutral color for any interview.
Blue - Blue, particularly navy, is another great neutral color for interview outfits. Blues convey feelings of calm, trust, and confidence - great qualities for an interviewer to sense in you. Darker blues (like navy) convey authority and confidence. Blue is also many people's favorite color, and wearing an interviewer's favorite color will always make a great first impression.
Gray - Gray is another great neutral color for interview outfits. It evokes sophistication and neutrality. Gray is a great color to wear as a suit or dress; it allows you to look powerful, but is not quite as domineering as a black suit or dress.
Black - Black is a very popular color for suits and dresses in interviews. However, black is a very commanding color that conveys a lot of power, authority, and even drama. This is a good color for a job in a conservative environment like a law office, or for an interviewee applying for a high-level executive position. However, black can be a bit overwhelming in a more laid-back office environment, and can make you appear unapproachable. Using black as an accent color (for example, in a scarf or tie) can give you a bit of that sense of authority without being overwhelming.
Red - Red is a bright, powerful color that conveys energy and passion. A pop of red (for example, in a scarf or tie) can convey just the right amount of passion without making you appear too emotional.
White - Crisp and clean, white is a great color for shirts and blouses. The color conveys truth and simplicity, and adds a bit of brightness without being too overwhelming.
Of course, what really matters in an interview are your skills and experience, and how you answer the interviewer's questions. But in a job market where employers must decide between numerous qualified candidates, the right outfit with the right colors can set you apart from the pack.
Thank you for inviting. But, I am one of the worst player in choosing attires. Not the right person to answer this question.
It all depends ... black pants suit, dress or skirt always looks elegant and professional
but then I have been at places where it is more about to fit in, which means you ware clothing like the coworkers... if tan is the color than wear it ...
Also keep in mind is it a sales, manufacturing job or an office job; corporate or the plant; there are many factors to consider ... your recruiter should know
