green, not Kelly green or bright green.

If your eyes are brown, you could wear any of the browns from tan to dark brown tweed and stay in your color range.

As far as looking blah, that depends more on the style than the color, don't you think? I've seen beautiful outfits in every color that would be perfectly suited for interviews. And unless you are going for a quirky job in the arts or advertising (where you might want to wear something really "out there&quot , you're gonna want to go for a fairly muted presentation. If you're worried about looking bland, just get a blouse in your eye color since it's the closest clothing to your face. But really, in an interview, bland colors aren't bad.

In your case, what about a deep coppery brown silk blouse with gold-and-amber jewelry, and a black suit? Smashing! You're hired!
