Loafer and shirt/tie color recommendations

I recently purchased this suit (https://suitsupply.com/en-nl/men/suits/sand-herringbone-relaxed-fit-roma-suit/P664506.html) for a couple upcoming summer weddings I have and am considering a pair of loafers to wear with it. I narrowed it down to these https://eu.meermin.com/products/514511-brown-superbuck-e or these https://eu.meermin.com/products/514511-copper-alicante-suede-e. Is there a better option colorwise between the two? It would also be nice to have more versatility and the ability to wear them slightly dressed down with other outfits. So, same question, is there a better option between the darker or lighter brown? Lastly, I wanted to see if there are recommendations for shirt and tie color combinations with the suit. Thanks for the help! (Oh, and I am in the EU)

I prefer the brown to the copper. The copper looks very red, and will be less versatile. For that particular suit, you could probably wear lighter shoes, but a tan or taupe shoe will also be less versatile

Agree. The brown is going to be more versatile. I really like the color and think it will go well with the suit

For shirts, I think a pale blue would be nice, either solid or stripes.

With this color suit you could also really lean into tonal elements and do a pale brown stripe shirt. But if that feels too intimidating I think @jfarrell468 is absolutely right. For ties your color scheme is pretty versatile as well. I'd probably base something off the shirt (not matching but something that components it)

I agree tonal would look good too.

solid white/white stripes is also not an awful option and gives you perhaps a little more freedom in tie choice or to go tieless if you're so inclined

I also think a patterned shirt and a plain tie could look good, but that's going to be harder to find and pull off.
