I do it myself with non-business suits sometimes, so it can't be all that bad.

1) Look at the pattern from afar; what colours dominate? E.g. a blue tie with very distinct brown circles may actually look brown when you stand at arm's length and look in the mirror.
2) Do not let the aesthetic beauty of the pattern be the sole driver of your choice. Consider what shirts, suits, sport jackets you may pair well with the tie. Do you have these?
3) Return to 1.
