You can go with either navy blue, black, grey, khaki or with any other darker tones. The point is that you should pick a color that resonates with you and in which you feel comfortable. A lot of times, there is some sort of color coordination between the bride and the groom regarding their attire. Hence, consult with your fiancé about the colors of your dresses beforehand and have mutual consent. Moreover, you can also go with patterned suits if you like them. For example, patterns like checks, either tightly spaced or widely spaced, depending on your taste. Other patterns that are minimal can also be selected.

Usually, the suits that are worn at weddings are elegant and nothing over the top in terms of colors. Hence the necktie should coordinate with the suit and look elegant aswell. They should be of neutral colors and have earthy hues. If people go for patterned ones, they go with very minimal ones as they will draw too much attention otherwise. Whichever one you choose, just make sure it goes with the theme of the wedding and the overall look of your suit. There must be harmony to your whole attire. Also, the wedding day is probably not the best time for experimenting. So, it will be best to choose the one you have already tried and felt comfortable in.
