How do you guys go about matching a dress shirt color to a tie (color)? I know my mom thinks the tie has to match the shirt (color); so if you have a light blue shirt the tie should be light blue, or contain mostly light blue.
I'm of the opinion you can do that monochromic match, or you can do a complementary color match (blue shirt, tie has orange in it), or you can do a triadic color scheme but that's for the biggest pimps and most are too nub to pull that off.
