I looked into my closet the other day and realized I don't have a large variety of color in my clothes. 90% of my clothes are gray, black, brown, or shades of blue. I've got maybe 5 articles of clothing that have other colors and I really need to branch out. I've got tan skin and alot of colors I feel like I don't look good in, or draw too much attention to myself (which I don't enjoy). How did you all break out into trying new colors?

Honestly, I say just go for it. I mean, be a bit deliberate when you're shopping and avoid the neutrals/blues - but don't worry so much about it after that. Start picking up pieces with color and you'll figure out how to make them work.
Here's a couple outfits of mine that I posted to the WNTW Facebook Wall (yes, I watch the show - sometimes) that show off some color.

It seems like a big jump, but depending on what kind of wardrobe you are talking (business vs. casual) my first branching out was into red. A red polo, tie with some red in it, a casual red t-shirt, or a red v-neck sweater. As long as it is moderated by some other more neutral colors (which you already have) it just works. I always get compliments in red.
I dig Peter's 2nd photo. Green doesn't get enough play.
