Odd trousers color and pattern suggestion?

[ichobi]

Hey all, haven't seen similar thread from searching so I would like to ask a few questions. I will be interning at the Ministry of Foreign affairs in Thailand next month and most people here don't wear suit to work since it's hot like hell down here. This means I am getting a few odd trousers to go with my assortment of shirts but I only have a few pairs and they are mostly light grey. I usually wear white, blue and light blue with some stripe/ gingham patterns. Observing what people wear to work here I notice most Thai males wear mostly black pants, very few wear grey so i think of commissioning a few odd trousers with my good old tailor. I think black don't compliment standard work shirt color very much. My choices for now are probably 1 dark navy and 1 charcoal grey and 1 black, with variation of patterns (not sure yet, have to check tailor's swatch). Is this appropriate, any recommendation? Thanks

Grey looks better with blue shirts than navy, so I'd lean grey. Navy pants + blue shirt = Auto Mechanic.
