I usually wear some darker colors. They just look good on me and frankly, looking like a neon sign isn't really my taste.
Male clothing colors, what's acceptable to you?

I'm not a guy, but my brother pulls of pink quite well. And no he's not gay. He'll wear a suit with a pink shirt and tie underneath, or just a pink dress shirt and nice pants. And I think he has at least one t-shirt from a 5K or something that says "Real men wear pink."
I think guys can look good in most colors, but to me I feel like red and blue are usually the most striking colors. Nothing pastel, just a nice deep red or royal blue. Oh, and white. White is a nice color as well, especially when done as an accessory for just a pop of it, like a tie or shoes.

I wear all colors. I don't prefer to wear pink (it usually just looks plain bad on me), but I did have a "salmon" shirt recently.
Darks and muted colours like olive, khaki for me, but I would absolutely wear brighter colours if I could materialise any clothes I want. Unfortunately I'm limited to what I have, and what I have isn't tasteful with bright colours.
Really I usually end up in either only black or black with a bit of blue mixed in. not going for an emo look, but I just like to not stand out. I have lots of decal shirts though, if they count. Jeans and black cargo pants are my thoroughfare really.
I see any color as acceptable, though for me personally I love to wear red, orange, and purple. Not a huge fan of blue (primarily the reason why I never owned a pair of jeans until I was like 20). Though people say black looks the best on me and I usually fall back on it for a neutral color. I think out of all the colors I probably wear white the least just because it tends to get dirty way too easily.
I hate it when men where pink, not because it isn't manly or anything, but because more often than not they are wear the color to be ironic. And everyone knows that irony is the calling card of the insidious hipsters disease.
I'll wear just about any color, so long as it's a type of clothing I'd actually wear. For example, I typically won't wear a dress or high-heels unless I wanted to troll people I know. Colors, though, I could not care less about.
EDIT:
I do think people get too worked up over the concept of hipsters though, imho. If some people have fun by not following the crowd and spending far too much at Starbucks, then let them. It may be hurting their credibility when they criticize movies / games / novels / etc, but they're not actually hurting anybody or doing anything wrong. Let people enjoy what they will is all I'm saying.

I have the olive skin complexion and dark brown hair, so I'm told I wear lighter colors well. I'll wear anything, I enjoy colors and will wear whatever I think it cool.
Real Talk: I love the color purple/violet. I have 4 purple shirts and 2 purple hoodies and 2 purple jackets. Purple and violet all they way.
There is also a color that is like dark violet/red but so dark its almost black. I don't know if there is a name for it but i kinda reminds me of coagulated blood. Kinda strange I know, but I have a les paul guitar and a few dress shirts that are that sort of deep red/violet color. Love it.

I think out of my entire wardrobe, the only color I don't have is yellow (I do have pink if you count my Pinkie Pie Portal shirt).
It's kinda weird. I've never worn yellow, but I can't really see myself wearing it.
Though, personally, I prefer darker colors like green and brown, and black.

I wear whatever happens to be the first thing I find in the mornings when I dig through the "clean clothes pile". This ranges in color from baby blue to blacker than Palpatine's heart.
Though most of my pants are some shade of tan. Mostly because I almost exclusively wear cargo pants and I can't be fucked looking for them in any other color.

I'm an orange guy. It wasn't intentional but it's to a point that people comment when I don't wear orange. I cheer for a Black/Orange/White sports team that has been terrible for 20 years and isn't a local team so is rare to see a fan of them where I live. They started to finally do good about 8 years ago and I kind of went nuts buying gear. Even got custom Oakley's and Reebok's for it.
The problem is, nothing else really matches orange, so most things I buy have orange in so they don't look terrible with my sunglasses, hats, lanyards, etc. Mostly I'm down to black, grey and white shirts with orange in them, but I do have a few bright orange as well.
I'm starting to get over it a bit and have a few shirts and hats and a 2nd pair of glasses that aren't orange now, so hopefully I'll be back to normal colors here sooner than later.

Acceptable to wear, whatever you'd like mate.
What I'd wear, I tend to go for less visible colours. That's not to say darker colours, just ones that don't particularly stand out. Since I tend to wear my t-shirts for the design or pattern, the colour doesn't really bother me unless it's unduely bright. Though that's less so I don't stand out and more they stain really easily.

Uh, specific to men? any and all of them are fine.
There are colors and color combinations I dislike, but I don't really care if someone else chooses to wear it.
In terms of personal likes, any deep colors are a big plus, forest green, scarlet, navy blue, etc.
