To further expand the color matching, match the color of your hose to the predominant upper garment. So, like was stated, match the hose to the shirt for casual wear. It also looks pretty good to match the hose to the jacket when one is worn. For instance, I like to wear black hose to match my formal black jacket, and charcoal hose to match my charcoal jacket. I also have a charcoal sweater, so I match charcoal hose with that.

This isn't an absolute rule. For instance, the oatmeal hose that have been mentioned are very versatile and match with many colors, especially the earthier or weathered colors.
