Brother the Bridesman

Looking for suggestions on attire for my brother that is in my bridal party. The BP only consists of three people and each are wearing a different color. My maid of honor is in burgundy, one bridesmaid in dark purple, and my brother (or Bridesman as I affectionately call him lol) is supposed to wear lavender. I was thinking lavender suit jacket and tie with a charcoal shirt and pants? I'm not sure though.
Here's a pic of the color scheme I am going for.
Has anyone else dealt with this before?

How funny! My cousin is going to be my bridesman and he is going to be wearing what PP suggested - gray suit and lavender! but he is going to be matching the groomsmen on FH's side. FH is going to wear a charcoal suit with lavender to stick out.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I was trying to think of a way to have him stand apart from the groomsmen. A charcoal suit will work since my FH and his gang will be in black. 😁

I would do lavender jacket, charcoal pants with pale grey shirt. I also he could also do a green suit or jacket.

I was considering the lavender jacket since my brother's complexion is olive. I think the light color would really pop on him.
You all have great ideas!

A lavender jacket seems pretty, but maybe a little bit too much. I tried to find something on pinterest, but none of it was appealing, lol.
I would definitely go with a charcoal suit with colored accents, but I'm wondering if you should go with a darker purple instead of lavender tie. I think he will look really out of place if you go with a different color than the BMs, maybe a dark purple or burgundy tie with lavender boutonniere?
And PS - I'm all for mismatched! Here's a pic of my bridesmaids. One thing that was told to me when we were choosing them is you want them to still look like they "go together" and not all have completely different styles and colors, which is why we put two BMs in the same color, but different fabrics. It helps to tie everyone in and make sure nobody looks out of place.
