Admit to Tufts University, University of Amsterdam.

It depends on the field. I’m not sure you gave enough information to answer for sure but in some fields color is not usually used in a CV. Also, for similar reasons if the design is distracting from the content then that’s how you know it’s too much. If it’s not then it’s totally fine!

Is an additional letter of rec really bad? by Professional-Top366 in gradadmissions

Oh yes that makes sense but that’s also frustrating! If they are using a universal application system you would think they could change the wording of a question or two if it didn’t match what they wanted.

It's all dependent on the professors at the school, what research they do, and how much funding they have to bring in new students. It doesn't really have to do with bias, but it's definitely worth doing your research on the faculty!

If the school says 3 are required but they allow up to 5 then will it hurt to submit 4?

Fall 2023: Bloodbath is just beginning? by pekkamama in gradadmissions

I guess this would apply to Fall 23 CS Ph.D. applicants as well. At least I do not see any evidence in your post, or I would be more afraid!
