Actually, I like it.
It'll cut out all the "Oh, I took a course in how to write the Perfect CV*, but didn't pay attention in any of my other classes", and the "I read a web-page about how rto BS in my CV" types, who spend a HUGE amount of time working on the CV, but essentially know only a tenth of what they claim.
For the colour, let them know that you know that they're kidding. I'd go with something like "cerise with a strong hint of orange, but not too light, so more like a muddy brown, really".
* I used "CV" because I couldn't be bothered to type out the accented characters for résumé"

I'd tell them my favorite color is #00FFFFFF, then wait to see if anyone gets the joke.
If they don't, I don't want to work there.

Transparent white, not bad.
Personally, I would go with neon plaid or 'I find the light at 651.23 THz particularly striking' just to see the reaction.

Or even #FC0FFF.
Hell, new computers are 64bit, now, so why can't we have colour codes like #FUK0FF?
I'd love to see what colour it is, and I'm pretty sure I'd use it a lot.

Who knew one (OK, two) viral videos could be so profitable:
Billion Dollar Shave Club: Unilever buys razor subscription service | The Verge[^]
Quote: DSC, which ships razors to customers for a monthly subscription fee, isn't yet profitable, but plans to be by the end of 2016. It's on target for revenues of $240 million this year, and has around 3 million customers in three countries.
OK, let's crowd-source our billion dollar startup idea.

OK, I have no ideas.

Sorry, but with all those "multi million dollar" unicorns out there that aren't, the way things are valued seems a little bit.. incorrect

True, but in this case - Unilever paid cash. It isn't just a matter of valuation. Well, OK, it is a case of Unilever valuing the company as worth paying 1B in cash. It's just in this case, someone got the Benjamins. It's that part that has me agog this morning.

It still is; you make it sound like 'cash' is a hard currency.

No, I simply mean to say that in 10 years time another zero will be added to the same price and people will exclaim how much it is.

This can be attributed to the prime rates for the central banks be at record lows for years. Investors are getting really desperate for anything with decent returns and are making increasingly risky maneuvers. Personally, I've pulled out of my stocks for the most part.

I do have a great idea but no clue how to raise money.

Not so daft. You can pretty much bank on it making 4-500Kpa, and most of that will be from Unilever products, so it's a sound investment, even over the mid term.
What is absolutely priceless is the guys who are doing it. They've built up a ginormous rep, so the attitude Unilever has to take is "Here's your money, now we'll go away and let you just get on with doing what you do so well".
Yeah, right.

That's a lot of growth for a razor company.
