If somebody is getting married or buried, this works.
Good news! They don't have grey on the website, but when I went to the store to make my purchase, they had grey in the catalog. So I bought it.
It's not really solid, but not pin stripe - I think they call it micro stripe. So from about 10 feet away it looks almost solid, then up close you can see it has some color texture.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Without your input I may have just gone with the black with charcoal strip. I think I'll be happier with what I got now.
Black first, Charcoal Grey, and Then Navy, IMO. Suits at my corporate workplace are most common in that order. The first two impart a classic and professional look even more than the navy, again, in my opinion.
EDIT: They had charcoal grey in the slim fit, so I bought that. Thanks for the input!

With all due respect to other's opinions, a well dressed man would never have as his only suit a black suit. It would always be appropriate for funerals or evenings out at the opera, but never, ever for weddings, confirmations, bar mitzvahs, company parties etc. Blue is the right choice. Or a dark grey. Not black.
One last thing. Regardless of what you go with, a well tailored, i.e. good fitting, suit always looks better than something that may be more expensive but fits poorly. Don't skimp on the tailoring.
Navy.... Not as harsh as black ...
Nuns, at least used to, wear black ...
