White is widely used in websites because it’s easy to make contrast with all colors tones. Also gives a sense of cleanliness.
White has the same problem as black.
Bad for light mode, good for dark mode.
⚪ @jamesone_ is in white t-shirt team, funny face plus a cap makes the difference in this case. Also his cover pic is very uncommon and original and can be considered as his brand.
⚪ @codewithtaylor white t-shirt team! Not sure if it’s purely white, but stands out because of the bricks on his background. His brand is written down on his cover pic with a similar color as the bricks.
⚪ @AnTheMaker has blended a white circle and the word “AN”, is very neat and stands out because of the white “AN”. Also, reinforces his brand with his cover pic, he is An and we have it clear.
⚪ @brandonthezhang He has a very origin making his profile easy to remember. The white background helps make the artwork stand out, making it a good choice. The quote on the cover pic reinforces his brand.
⚪ @jackbutcher profile will probably be remembered for his banner. His own profile picture is already associated with his brand.
⚪ @Julian profile pic is also very branded, we can easily recognize his profile because of his blue sketch. He doesn’t need anything else.

Works well for brands wishing to promote power, formality, profession, etc and used to hide feelings, intimidate, radiate authority.
People wearing a black t-shirt.
People with black backgrounds.
People with both!
Good for light mode, bad for dark mode.
⚫ @traf profile pic is a nice example of blending yourself with the background, in this case he achieves it by wearing a black t-shirt and adding black shadows.
It can have a balancing and harmonizing effect and it’s used for relaxation, revitalization and encouragement.
Not many people use green for his profiles.
So maybe you can find some eye-catching green tone and use it like me.
🟢 @nelio_leone his profile pic isn’t green at all, but the green outline stroke helps his pic to stand out. Uses the same color on his cover pic to present his slogan.
🟢 @GetMakerlog is a about shipping products in public, so the green color on their profile pic represents positivity and the icon is easy to recognize. The word “ship” on the cover pic makes clear their purpose.
Is the most popular color in terms of brand creation, basically because it reduces stress, relax, secure and it brings order.
I thought I would find more blue color profiles, as there are many studies that say that it’s the color that people like the most.
But probably, since blue is everywhere, it is not the best to attract attention.
🔵 @rylandking uses literally a profile pic, this pose is not common and neither is the turquoise background color! His profile is aesthetically pleasing, his header pic contains a wave with a little surfboard that works well with the blue-ish color.
Attracts the most attention and is associated with strong emotions like excitement, love, romance, style.
I didn’t find any red personal profile and I was shocked because with red you can capture attention very easily.
It can draw negative emotions so be careful with red.
Red is usually used to draw attention, if you use another less attractive color and add a single dot of red, everyone will focus on that point.
🔴 @devinsfountain profile uses a rare pinkish color. I have classified it as red because pink can be considered as light red. His illustration helps him to stand out plus his cover pic has patterns that are easy to remember, patterns are powerful tools, so use them.
Its brightness is particularly useful in catching the consumer's eyes and it’s used to simulate relax, awake awareness.
Lots of profiles are using yellow as their main color, probably because it’s very cheerful.
It works because it pushes you to press the profile picture.
But if a lot of people use it, it stops drawing attention.
So probably not the best choice right now if you want to stand out.
🟡 @hellojerryalex uses a light tinted yellow on his profile pic, but the drawing in it make it unique! Also, emphasizes his profile choosing a yellow flat cover pic.
