Incorrect! Men's wear is crazy fascinating, but the point is that everything lies in the small details.
You're right about yellow or tan. I'd generally keep him to neutrals and more muted or darker tones of red, blue, green and purple. Because he has pale skin, light hair and blue eyes (low contrast), you want to keep contrast in the colours of his clothing to a minimum as well, and the easiest way to do that is for the major components of the outfit to be neutral tones and matching accessories pretty closely. This is also an advantage to people just starting out with having to wear business wear, because if you have suits and shirts that are the more standard business-wear tropes then you can get away with re-wearing them within a shorter period of time, once again provided you change it up with the tie/pocket square.
There's plenty of awesome guides on building a businessman's wardrobe out there, I'd recommend this one: http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/category/mens-style-basics/ Start there and branch out across the more advanced articles on the site. For other readers playing at home, this is Antonio Centeno's newish site. Antonio is the guy who runs atailoredsuit.com and ATS' legendary style guide, which was previously my go-to for basic menswear education.
WriterofAllWrongs:
He seems like one of those guys who would look good in that classy turtleneck/blazer combo. Dovey is pretty much spot-on here, though.

WriterofAllWrongs:
AHEM.
I think it can look pretty smashing on the right people, so take your sass elsewhere, man.
Metope:
Imagine how great he'd look with a nice, white shirt and a tie instead of an ugly turtleneck.
