want to get some suede wingtips to go with jeans/chinos for a casual but sharp look. what are some common colors for this? i can think of dark brown, sand, navy and such. not sure about the more light/tan-ish shades of brown, they probably work better with smooth leather. thanks!

Now this is strictly opinion, but I find dark brown suede a waste since you make it difficult to see any of the detail in the wingtips. Navy is off the table for being too different and hard to work with. Sand is a bit light IMO. I would look for a medium grey or medium brown/dark tan if I were in the market, with sand being a reasonable backup.
Again... That's all just my opinion.

I pretty much agree with everything Alan said above. Personally I would love to get a pair of wingtips in the same caramel/tobacco color spectrum as these (not all wingtips, but the right color):

I particularly like the color of the last two.

thanks guys, a lot of valuable opinions. i guess it really comes down to personal preference. i am just not yet comfortable with some of the more daring colors, grey is fine, but maybe not tobacco or caramel. really like the third link given by Fred, not too dark, but not too light that gets dirty easily.

I have these grey ones. They are very well-made.
