I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of mixing in brown for formal wear. Having said that, if someone shows up to a black tie event wearing a brown sporran I would not think any less of them. The last black tie event we attended was the St. Andrew's Day Ball. Went through the photos posted and found a couple of examples of brown sporrans or day or semi-dress sporrans with otherwise black tie dress.
Here is someone clearly wearing a Saxon cut jacket
The thing is one tends to wear what they have whether it's strictly proper or not. For example my dad has only ever owned a simple brown day sporran, however if he needs anything else at this point I am certain he will simply borrow one from me.
