As a balancing reminder, please refrain from making it "too" colourful or flashy. Professionalism commonly equates to "streamlined" and "clean" aesthetically. In the end your goal is to make it so the aesthetics of your resume are a non-issue, in that they are only thinking of what is being said in the resume. You want a resume which is easy for the evaluator to read and place information in their mind.

That's it. Full stop.

Do not be tempted to go "Las Vegas" on them, or else the aesthetics (the fluff) will become an issue when you most of all want the fluff to not be an issue. In otherwords, do not confuse "selling yourself" with "selling your resume".
