    I would go with a brighter green, and not a cream color but white, and then maybe a darker shade of the blue, but not navy.

    The green doesn't fit, try pink, or another blue, maybe darker blue.

    I think your choice of navy and dark green would be excellent choices for a man. I DEFINITELy wouldn't add anything in the pink, mauve family for a man, not even every woman likes pink and most men don't like it, only put up with it.

    I agree a pink to go with the pink in the paisley would be nice, and as for the green you have, Wal-mart sells a darker shade of green in that same fabric. Maybe you could try that instead and see if it might work better.

    I like the pattern will you tell us the name and is it in a book? I would go with a navy blue and maybe a green.

    You could go with a very deep fuchia and a darker green.

    My two cents - the darker steel blue color and since this is a man, what about going DARK on the "pink" say into a really deep salmon? I don't think that darker shades of pink are as unmanly.

    Another option is to pick up that beautiful dark green in the print.

    I hope you post and let us know what you come up with!!!!!
