Is this green tie color too bright for regular office wear?

I've been looking at green ties recently to complete my tie collection as I don't own any ties in that color yet. Most of the ties I've found in stores have a more muted green tone. While I've been told that muted and darker colors are generally more formal and appropriate in a business environment, I found some of the ties to be a little too dark and boring for my taste. Then I came across this brighter green regimented tie which I kind of liked. However, I'm wondering if this would be too bright for office wear (when pairing with my navy, blue, and grey pin striped suit respectively), making me look more like a school boy than anything else?

When you said 'green tie too bright', I thought of lime-green.

That's fine IMO. Very British Racing Green.

The color is fine. The pattern is a different matter unless you have some type of affiliation.
