I currently own one brown herringbone sports coat for fall/winter. This would be my 2nd sports coat specifically for spring/summer.

Imgur link to color choices:

The red arrows next to the fabrics are the colors that I am considering.

Navy

If you’re seriously interested in “versatility” then nothing is ever going to beat navy.

Definitely would say 56504 - especially if you don't already have a navy sportcoat. It will go with just about everything.
