What color suit is good for job interviews?

[MetalMat]

I keep reading that either a navy blue or gray suit, with a whitw dress shirt is good for job interviews. However, I keep thinking that I would rather a black suit. Any suggestions?

I generally go with my black suit with pinstripes, or my navy blue suit. Always wear a white shirt with the navy suit, and will go with a blue shirt and red tie or a white shirt with the pinstripes.

Black rules.

The typical rules suggest that black is more formal, so dark blue or grey is more appropriate for an interview. That being said, I have a black suit that I try to lighten up with a more casual (colored) shirt. The black suit will be more versitile, because you can wear it to night time events. Navy blue is pretty conservative.

typically navy, black, or grey is fine. supposedly the idea is not to wear anything too flash (eg pinstripes) so they remember you for your qualifications and not 'the guy with that suit.' but who knows.
