The safe choice for company directories, CVs and LinkedIn. One flat colour keeps the attention on your face.

White
Cleanest option, and the one most CV and passport-style guidelines ask for.
Black
High contrast and formal. Works best with light clothing.
Beige
Warmer than grey without pulling focus. Flatters most skin tones.
Brown
Muted and traditional. A good fit for law, finance and consulting.
Teal
Adds colour while staying professional. Popular for speaker and author photos.
Red
Bold and attention-seeking. Use it for acting, media and personal branding.

If a flat colour feels too plain, a real setting gives context about what you do.

A short answer for the most common cases.

If you are	Pick	Why
In a corporate team directory	White or beige	Everyone matches, and the photo survives being cropped into a small circle.
Applying for a job	White	Most application guidelines expect a plain, light background.
In law, finance or consulting	Brown or a law firm interior	Signals seniority without looking staged.
A healthcare professional	A medical setting	Patients read the setting as credentials.
A creative or personal brand	Teal, red or outdoors	You want to be remembered, not to blend in.
An estate agent	A property interior	Buyers expect to see you in the kind of home they want.
