Yes, I have pulled off the pink dress shirt with the pink and blue tie and I had been told by several people that I looked quite handsome, dapper even. I was told it went well with my darker complexion. Now that is not to say that I would wear a pink T-shirt on a Saturday.
Red has been my favorite color for eons. If and when I get my motorcycle (providing I am not too old and decrepit) it will be Candy Apple red. It will be a darker red that when you look at it, it will have some depth to it. Not just a plain old flat stock red.
