No it doesn't have to be a blue suit, but also realize the vast, vast majority of applicants will be wearing a blue suit, with a white shirt, and maybe a little color other than a red tie. There absolutely have been people hired wearing grey suits, and even tan. But that is a super bold choice.
The suit color is waaaaaay overblown. The DL recruiting FB page has debunked this many times. Any well-tailored, conservative colored suit will do. Yes, avoid the white or red pimp suits. But don’t go buy a new blue suit if you have a perfectly good grey one in your closet.
