How to Use the New Personalities and Chat Color in ChatGPT-5
Bulgaria – August 8, 2025 – With ChatGPT 5, users can now personalise their conversations using two new features: Personalities and Accent Color. This step allows teachers, students, and professionals to tailor the assistant’s tone and visual look.
A Personality defines the assistant’s voice or mood. You can choose from several ready‑made personas (empathetic, friendly, technical, critical thinker, engaging storyteller, etc.) or create your own by describing the desired tone and style. The Accent Color changes the interface’s accent to better match your taste or organisational branding (e.g. blue for calm, orange for energy).

Colour palette guidelines
- Keep colours consistent with your brand or classroom. For example, use your school’s colours in communications.

Team and brand consistency
- Encourage your team to use similar personalities when working with students or clients to maintain a consistent voice.
- Document recommended settings in your staff training materials.
Common issues and solutions
- Personality too generic: Add more descriptors or specific behaviours.
- Accent colour not visible: Clear browser cache or restart the app.
- Inconsistent responses: Remember that the AI still uses training data; adjust the persona description and ask clarifying questions.
Accessibility and comfort

- Adjust the tone to the needs of younger learners or special educational contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I create multiple personalities? Yes, you can save custom personas and switch between them depending on your activity.

- Will personalities work in all languages? Personalities are language‑agnostic; they modify tone, not translation.
