I guess you should go light grey since you already have blue and charcoal

Dark brown suits are very hard to come by at least when I looked in person. Went to like six shops. I would ask for brown and they would pull out a fucking taupe khaki suit and be like this is brown.

Depends on your skin/hair color and what kind of work you do.

Light/dark brown
Light/dark blue (navy)
Light/dark grey

And also where you live. Suits aren't as common in European business culture.

Personally I like charcoal because it contrasts well with my blond hair and light skin, and it allows me to play around with shirt/tie color more than dark blue.

In my preferred order, mainly from formal to fun but there's some overlap (if I don't mention something, assume I don't recommend it for a starting wardrobe).

Pattern: Plain, birdseye, chalkstripe, windowpane, and glen check

Color: Navy, medium grey, dark blue, charcoal, and light grey

Style: Double breasted then single breasted,
I prefer double breasted, more character and more fashion forward while still being classic.
