Green Suits for Groomsmen

The Suit Versatility Matrix (with occasion appropriateness recommendations)
Anyone reading this for the first time (from r/all for example) should note how much more versatile brown leather shoes and a navy or charcoal suit are than black/black.
Personally, I think there's little to no reason to ever own a black suit, unless you live in a wealthy, traditional, conservative area where dark charcoal would be frowned on at a funeral. Others may see it differently, of course!
Edit: Since black suits seem to be a point of controversy, I'm going to expand on this by paraphrasing a couple other comments I made down-thread -
One comment said, "If you go to an interview, a wedding or the office in a black suit nobody's going to really find it bad- many people will think it looks good." I don't disagree with that at all! However, a charcoal or navy suit works for all of those occasions as well, but also opens up a lot of other color options for shirts, ties, and shoes. If you already have a black suit, OK! But if you're in the market for your first suit (who I imagine the biggest audience for this graphic is), then why not opt for something more versatile?
A charcoal suit even works with black shoes too (dark navy suits as well, although that's more common in the UK). Paired with a white shirt and understated tie, it's no less polite, respectful or low-key than a black suit for the events that require that attitude.
I agree that no one should toss a black suit in the garbage after seeing this graphic (as one commenter suggested they might feel the need to), but for someone who only has the budget for one suit or is buying their first, charcoal or navy are a much better choice than black.
No one's saying black suits are objectively worse - just that they're less versatile, which makes it a less useful purchase for someone just starting out.

Having a lot of trouble finding the color suits I’m looking for without spending an arm and a leg! Looking to rent sage or olive green suits - essentially a more muted green but still clearly green, not grey or brown.
Live in the Central Florida area; rent is option 1 but if it’s affordable could also buy (like around $200 for the whole suit?)
