Tuxedo Pocket Square Questions

Hey everyone,

My prom is coming up soon and I just picked up my black tux with black bow tie and black vest. My date is wearing a coral colored dress and in order to match (somewhat) I was thinking about wearing a coral colored pocket square. Is this a bad idea since it doesn't match anything else that I am wearing? I also purchased a silver silk pocket square that would match her shoes/jewelry. Would this be better? Any advice would be helpful thanks!

Just use a white linen pocket square. You are her date, not her corsage.

No PS that is. I would not suggest you go nude.
