Help with color coordination, please. I’m too stupid to grasp color theory.

I recently got a new job in sales, and I have to start doing customer visits. I currently have three branded polos with the company’s name on it, and need to find good pants AND shoe/belt colors for each of them. I asked ChatGPT, and this was its response:

  1. Royal Blue Polo:


Pants:
  • Light Khaki/Chinos: These are classic and safe for a business casual setting.
  • Grey: This would work as well, just ensure it's not too light of a grey to maintain a professional look.*Shoes & Belt:*
  • Brown or tan: These earth tones will balance the vibrancy of the royal blue and keep the look professional.
  1. Navy Blue Polo:


Pants:
  • Light Khaki/Chinos: This would look professional yet approachable.
  • Grey: Light to medium grey will provide a nice contrast.*Shoes & Belt:*
  • Brown or tan: Creates a classic, put-together look.
  • Black: It can work well for a more formal appearance.
  1. Black Polo:


Pants:
  • Grey: From light grey to charcoal, all would work well. Charcoal might be especially good for maintaining a professional tone.
  • Khaki: Lighter shades can provide a nice contrast, but stay away from very light shades to maintain a professional appearance.*Shoes & Belt:*
  • Black: Matches the shirt and creates a sleek, cohesive look. This is a safe choice in this context.
In any case, avoid very bright or contrasting colors and stick with more muted, professional tones. Remember, fit is just as important as color – you want your clothes to be well-fitted but comfortable for you. It will reflect positively on your appearance and leave a good impression.


Are these good recommendations? Any additional/better ones you can think of? I’m selling machines, so I don’t need to be in a suit or blazer.
