Standard business sock, innit? On the rare occasions that I wear a suit, the socks are always black. Except when they're bright red. I get a bit racy.

Otherwise, I bulk-buy thick grey ones.

Now you see I only wear hand-knitted socks... so mine are a rainbow of colours (sometimes in the same sock!) I don't own any black ones
