gents, getting married this August and my groomsmen will be wearing black tuxedos. Bridesmaids will be wearing a deep navy color...question is to bow tie color for my guys?

Suggestions?

Get creative where you like, but not with your evening wear. Your groomsmen will thank you for not putting them in red or yellow bow ties.

The wedding is after 6p. Invitations did not say black tie event.
The invitations don't have to. All this means is that the guests do not need to wear black tie. Often, as in your case, the bridal party will be dressed a level above the guests.
