light pink might look good with navy blue. Good luck!
It depends on what colors you have chosen for your wedding (usually people choose two wedding colors). Since your bridesmaids are wearing red, I will assume that red is one color you have chosen for your wedding. What is the other color? Have your maid of honor wear your other wedding color.Another suggestion is your maid of honor can wear pink.
You can wear whatever color you want, but white is the traditional color and it may be hard to find a wedding dress that isn't white. The grooms always look better in black. Don't let the bridesmaids look better than you.

No, the Maid of Honor or anyone else in the wedding part or any guests should not wear the same color (white) as the bride as she is the focal point (it is her day of glory.) It is fine to wear black and white or another color and white. The Maid of Honor generally wears a slightly different color than the bridesmaids. Example: Bridesmaids are in light blue then the Maid of Honor may be in a midnight blue.
Your wedding, your choice. The bridesmaids can wear whatever color you and your groom decide is OK (assuming, of course, you're paying for the wedding. Parents who are paying tend to want a say in what's done, too.)
* If your step daughter's Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids are wearing long dresses then you should wear one in a color that will go well with the color of their dresses (not the same color.) If the girls in the wedding party are wearing short dresses then you should as well. If you don't want to pay a great deal of money for a dress you can rent some beautiful dresses from the wedding shop and the saleswomen there will be glad to help you.
Depends on how formal the wedding is and the color of the suit you are wearing.
I have seen bridesmaids wear royal blue, each dress in the style they choose. If you have a spring or summer wedding, perhaps a pastel will be nice. However, with a pastel, you need to check and see what colors look good on your bridesmaids so they do not fade out.

The critical thing is that she shouldn't take attention away from the bride. Everything else is largely irrelevant (though ideally she should neither wear the exact same color as the bridesmaids nor something that clashes hideously with it).It's pretty common for there to be at least a few photos of the wedding party and the family together (it's also fairly likely that at least some of the bridesmaids will be family, and therefore in the family photo even if there isn't specifically one of the family with all the bridesmaids), and you don't want the mother to be mistaken for a bridesmaid, or for the colors to clash too much.
If you have a good reason, like your baby is due on the same day as the wedding and is far away from your hospital, you just say "Sorry, I can't come," and move on. But if you say you won't attend because, say, you don't like the color dress the bridesmaids are wearing, then I don't know. Besides, I'm only 11 years old.
the mother of the bride should wear red because it color coordinates well.
