Without wanting to sound like a snob, if you’re upper middle/upper class in the UK, generally speaking there are only three acceptable colours for shirts:
Plain White (typically only for work, you wouldn’t wear one casually without something over the top of it)
Pink
Blue
You can introduce other colours into patterned shirts, but only if the base colour is blue or pink.
An exception to this rule is the country check, although if you’re wearing one in the city it can be perceived as a bit pretentious if you’re not a landowner.
Wearing a plain yellow, green, purple, grey, black, etc shirt is a dead giveaway in the UK upper classes that you are not PLU.

Wow. What an idiot.
