I have an interview for a boutique strategy consulting firm coming up, and only had a black suit. Calvin Klein had a pretty good sale so I purchased this suit for my upcoming interview (and also other interviews I may have, e.g. in investment banking or grad school) --

However, now I'm not sure if it's too light of a gray? I've read that DARK gray / charcoal / blue / navy are the preferred choices. I'm not sure if my grey suit is appropriate or not. It probably doesn't help that I'm pretty terrible with colors.
Considering the price tag, and my expected use (this interview, future interviews either for grad school or other positions), I want to be sure I get it right, and if this isn't it, I can return it.
What do you all think?
I really liked the suit that Ryan Reynolds wore in The Proposal (yes, I admit I watched the movie, lol) -- http://cdn.sheknows.com/filter/l/gallery/ryan_reynolds_on_location_nyc_the_proposal.jpg
I don't know if the one I bought is similar to that, and even if it is, if mine is appropriate for interviews in finance or grad school.
Last question to ask: What shirt / tie combo for interviews? I was going to go with a solid white shirt, but wasn't sure on the tie?
Thank you!
