I also have a bottle (rifle) green PC and vest, but I have always worn a self-tie black bow tie with it. My PC also has plain cloth lapels because the silk grosgrain facings on offer by that kilt-maker are black which I personally dislike on a colored PC. Some other tailors do silk grosgrain lapel facings in the matching color of the jacket which looks good, although still no reason to deviate from wearing a black bow-tie when so attired. I see no reason for formal evening dress kilt jackets and doublets (PC's, Regulation doublets, Montrose/Kenmore/Sheriffmuir styles) to be confined to black.
