Tie Color/Patterns for Interview?

Recently, I was absolutely awestruck by the Charvet textured "leaves" silk tie featured on both Saks and Neiman Marcus. Starting fresh in a junior position at a IB firm, I figured it is time to refresh my Linkedin profile picture.
Although many insist on solid-plain ties, I feel that Charvet's leaves silk tie could be a fit. Unfortunately, I am stuck between choosing from two different colors: (I figure it's better to just include pictures). While they are both blue, one of the ties appears to have more of a purple hue, while the other has a dark blue with the slightest of a teal hue.


Would it be appropriate to wear either of the two to a job interview? If so, which of the two is the "better" shade.
Also, would you say the same for a Linkedin headshot picture?

Note: Navy suit, Half Windsor knot, Black cap-toe oxfords

Looks more blue in those pics but can’t go wrong with purp, especially a darker shade. Looks elegant, is unique, and goes well pretty much any suit. Have you looked into paisley ties? Those are beautiful and classic.
