Groom's tux a different color from groomsmen??

My bridesmaids are wearing yellow. I'm not sure I want black tuxes next to yellow because of the stark contrast. Someone suggested that I consider a chic gray for the groomsmen, after attending a wedding in which the groomsmen wore that and the girls wore yellow, She said it looked really classy. I really like the idea, however, I'm thinking I want the groom to wear classic black, since my dress is very elegant and it's a special day. Do you think it would look okay for the groom to have a different color than his groomsmen? Would it be weird to have them wear different colors?

Also, I did ask my fiance and he's cool with either look, so it's not like I'm just deciding what the guys will wear without asking!

    I'm doing gray suits with canberry BM dresses and I like the more "casual" look even though my dress is fancy.  my fiance is wearing a silky white tie with a white pasiley print to make his charcol gray suit appear more "classy".  I almost did yellow too :) I wouldn't worry about your hubby-to-be matching you exactly.  Its not like his grey suit will take away from your dress!

    [QUOTE]There is nothing "classy" about a tux in any color but black.  Suits, on the other hand, are fine in grey or navy.

    I think that some are confusing "classy" with "formal". You can definitely have a non black tux and still look very classy. The etiquette police may issue some sort of citation but you are the ultimate decision maker....My FH is wearing a charcoal grey tux and the groomens are wearing the lighter grey version of his tux. Do what makes you happy!!
