On navy blue? Maybe burgundy suede at the elbows - collar, too.

I'm glad this came up. I always considered suede patching cool for tweeds or cotton corduroy, but I never thought of it for other weaves.

seriously though, i think the patch color depends on how you wear it, what color palette you favor, the buttons on the jacket, etc.
