Actually, it was an English (I assume) custom about the wearing of a grey morning coat, as the partial quote on morning dress in Wikipedia shows clearly:-
"Traditionally, only the groom and bride's father are allowed to wear a grey morning coat to a wedding and all other guest wear black morning coats, though it is rare to see this rule enforced today."
Actually, that line was my contribution to the article. It is rather amusing to find it quoted here!

I wear together with a morning coat a grey tie from the Brooks Brothers. Is that also ''right'' formal?
