Odd vest combination

Hi guys, I am considering buying a suit vest of a lighter blue colour to pull the odd vest combination. However when looking at it comparing to my suit. Do not the fabrics seem too similar in colour and tone? (the structure is a bit different but still not sure). Thx for the advices. The vest costs around 60 € (100 % Wool + viscose)

That does look too similar in both color and fabric to serve as an odd vest. The point of an odd vest is make a contrast. It is also harder to do with a suit in a fine worsted. Odd vests tend to work better with tweeds and other heavily textured fabrics. Google "odd vest with suit" and look at the images for some ideas.
