Designer note: why Accent exists
Accent's design move is a single vertical colour rule down the centre gutter. Everything else is monochrome. The rule pulls the eye downward through the page. It's a one-trick template - but the trick works for tech ICs who want the discipline of a monochrome resume with one small signal of design awareness.
Why these colours work
Five accent colours for the rule. Pick the one that doesn't clash with the brand colour of the company you're applying to.
Bullets that read well in Accent
These are the kind of lines this template's spacing and typography were built for. The note under each explains why the rhythm fits.

Accent's centre rule gives a metric-led bullet a vertical anchor - the eye reads down the rule rather than across the columns.

Questions about the Accent template
Will the rule cause ATS issues?
No. Vector styling, not raster, so it's built to parse cleanly in the major ATS systems.
