Undershirt colours
What do you do for undershirt colours? I usually wear white because it is simple and helps most shirts that I would open to reveal an undershirt pop, but I have been considering some other coloured undershirts to build into outfits.
This has included going for black to match with black jeans and make a shirt stand out more, or getting a dark green undershirt to give festive vibes to a dark coloured top.
Bonus points for any advice on when to choose an off white under over a white under shirt.

if you mean plain tshirts, you can wear lots of colors, depends on the fit. White/offwhite would be easiest to pull off. Depending on what else you're wearing, offwhite can be a less jarring contrast than pure white. I usually don't have my undershirt showing unless it's warm and I have a ribbed tank top or something. Most of the time I wear white v-necks that are invisible.
I think colorful undershirts are unusual because they risk showing through thin-fabric overshirts. Anything other than white of light grey can't be justified with function, which makes it more of a "fashion choice"... Though, the idea of a purple undershirt peeking through kinda intrigues me...
I'd be careful with dark/khaki green. You risk looking like you're in the army.
Disagree completely

I will just add if your intention to have some undershirts that do not show through, you should really look at a beige-brownish (depending on skin tone) v neck undershirts (or even grey). White will likely show through as it is a stark contrast against most folks skin
