Brown may be a good bet, especially for academia.  A brown grenadine, depending on the rest of your clothing, might be a great choice.

Got my B/W shepherd's check tie in the mail a little while ago, it's really great.  I'll be using it for my wedding next year.  A great tie, especially for the price.

I buy OTC for the most part, although I have large calves so some OTC brands still fall down (I'm looking at you Brooks Brothers).  I've just ordered 8 pairs of Pantherella OTC off STP, so we'll see how those fare.
