Is this a no-no? I've read a few votes against this on other sites so I wanted to see what the consensus was here. I'm going to Symphony next Friday evening and I'm trying to figure out which tie to pair with my black suit + white shirt combo. Thought about just picking up a solid black tie to go super formal as well. I already have a good black tie with pink diagonal (thin regimental pattern) stripes that works well for these occasions but I wore that to the last event and want to change it up.

Purple is my favorite color, and it pairs well with black (if it's subtle).
As for navy, it probably depends on the shade. I'm just speculating here, but a darker navy will probably just look like it's supposed to match the suit, but the tone is off. (Like wearing mismatched jacket and pants). But if it's a lighter navy, I suppose it would work. But if you can find something else, that'd probably be the safest route.
Clooney pulls it off...
... but Radcliffe doesn't (the shirt certainly isn't helping)

This is why I don't own a black suit. I'm with thmage, my favorite color is purple. And I wear it quite often. I have a black velvet blazer that I will pair with purple regularly. When it comes to black, I stick to either my black blazer or sometimes I'll wear my black trousers that have a pinstripe, but never together. My only black suit would be a tux when the time comes to purchase one.
