I'm basically color blind so I hate matching things.

1. You want something that'll contrast.
I'd recommend either a blue shirt and a red tie or a white shirt and a blue tie.

2. Even if we tell you, will you be able to pick it out? If you're color-blind...
Just kidding. I would say anything in the dark blue or dark maroon family would be fine. I would stay away from other greens.

3. A deep red if you have one.
Burgundy or maroon. Either that, or dark blue.

What color shirt?

4. I'm just going to keep it simple, white shirt and probably the red tie, that
sounds like the consensus opinion.

Thanks!

6. I'm not really color blind, but I have a real problem putting clothes together.
So I might as well be color blind. I need a fashion assistant, seriously. I was getting worked up about what I was wearing because I had a second interview today and wanted to make sure that I looked good.

9. Well, I ended up chickening out and went with the black suit, white shirt and nice red tie with some
black in it. I always fall back on black, my wife hates it, but that's just about the only thing I feel comfortable wearing. I thought I looked pretty sharp. It's too late for pics, I'm already in my jammy-jams. Sorry, maybe next time.:-) I got my sweat pants and my black dumb and dumber t-shirt on, the one with GHWB and Dubya on it. :-)

7. A nice blue tie if the pants are on the green side. But you wouldn't know that
would you. Sorry.
