Have no experience with formal clothing (used to blue collar type of lifestyle) and given Zoom interviewing I never got around to getting a full rack of suits. I acknowledge that this question is a bit elementary but need some guidance. What are acceptable colors to use in the office (i.e is black and white allowed?)? I plan to visit a tailor soon but just wanted to get some context over what's accepted in the office.

A general rule of thumb is that you wear less flashy colors like navy or charcoal in the office. Don’t go crazy with the shirt either. Just wear a nice clean white or blue shirt. Hope this helped and good luck in your new role!

If you don't know, then stick to navy or charcoal suits, with white or blue shirts and black or brown shoes and belt.
This. For my personal wardrobe, I have multiple suits, but a majority of them are different shades of navy. I know, real creative and out of the box wears :).
