A tie that's brighter than your collar pulls eyes away from your face. That's the wrong direction.
You don't want people looking at your chest, you want them to pay attention to your speech and expression. Same with cuffs and shoes. Draw focus to hands and face. Not feet, unless you're Michael Jackson.
If I didn't want people looking at my chest, I wouldn't be wearing fake double-Ds
(Good answer though, makes a lot of sense)
Then why are bright red "power" ties so popular?
I don't know, a yellow or silver tie paired with a blue (non-winchester) shirt is a common combination. Spectator shoes (white and black/brown shoes) are an established part of classic menswear.
Red is a very eye-catching color, but red ties are ubiquitous.
