I am a big fan of the colour green. Although never a standard choice in men's attire, we seem to have all but lost green, and especially olive-drab like variants, to military clothing and items seeking to resemble that. This is a shame.
Dark green has much potential, especially in terms of suitings (or other big contributors to ones attire). Because of its rich, full and mature hue, it doesn't attract too much attention, but still manages to be subtly different and expressive. I do not advocate the colour in the more formal settings, but generally, the colour can find its place in City, Sub-Urb and Countryside alike.
Paired with a lighter blue, green looks especially great, giving a very normal yet uncommon impression. Looking good, without demanding attention.
Green can be for your major items, what purple is for the details: an acquired skill, with great potential for subtle personification. Just be careful with the reds. (Although, Christmas is coming..)
