Interview update

got an interview in Geneva on Thursday.

Next worry - i've got a very dark brown suit (almost black) and a pale blue and green shirt. What sort of tie should i be looking for? I've been told that 'ton sur ton' is the right approach. But a stripy green and blue tie isn't going to make a good impression.
