So I'm having my photo taken tomorrow for a club, and I need to wear a light blue tie for it. I plan to wear a white shirt and a navy suit with it, but I'm undecided for the PS. I've currently narrowed it down to an orange paisley, a red paisley with a bit of navy/light blue accents, and a plain lavender.

I've made a highly detailed infographic summarizing my predicament below:

I'm inclined to go with the red, but i fear the light blue accents aren't strong enough to mach it to the tie. I'm afraid the lavender and light blue look too similar, but I have a really nice white shirt that has lavender inner cuffs that would match it.

Negative on the purple shirt.
Red square is the one given the other constraints.
