What color shirt and tie to wear with a grey suit?

what are some good color shirts and ties to wear with a grey suit. not to formal and not to flashy though.

I tend to wear a white shirt with an orange tie to break up the grey-if you opt for a dark tie you'll find it can sometimes become monotonous; the brightness will break up the grey (depending what kind of grey also-my suit is "Shark Skin" colored so the orange is a very good foil for it) Otherwise if you're trying to be a little more "professional" go for dark blue or black-I must stress go for plain ties as patterns are too "flashy" and it is very, very difficult to pick a pattern that is appropriate; best to keep it simple and classy.

Shirts darker then the jacket does not look as good as you think.

White and pale blue are the classic colors you would want to start with, pink is actually the third color. Grey is versatile - almost anything can work.

In terms of tie, there is just an enormous range of possibilities. If you want to dress down the look slightly, you could opt for a woven tie, something like this: link that has some texture and looks a little more relaxed.

Light grey suit go with light blue shirt and dark blue thick stripe tie or a brush dark blue stroke tie

You could also do dark grey shirt with any brush stroke tie.

Dark grey suit any color shirt will do, get a two tone tie that match the shirt and the dark grey suit tone

White shirts, ties like pale green, blue or peachy pink if you don't have a phobia of that color like most of the male population.
