If the polo shirt is navy blue, is a white t-shirt or a darker coloured t shirt better?

The T-shirt or common undershirt is worn to collect small amounts of sweat, then pull it between the clothing layers, where it can often dry without leaving big fat sweat marks.
This is the purpose of the undershirt, to help keep you cleaner and dryer. Would you rather be all pitted? THAT is sloppy.
When dealing with layered clothing, the inner layers are always supposed to be lighter than the outer layers. It is permissible to wear a light coat over dark clothing, if the coat is for environmental protection (rain, snow, etc.)
Ever see a man in a navy blue suit and a black shirt? No, of course not. How about a light grey suit with a navy blue shirt? Again, no way.
The only reason I can see why you would have taken issue with the clothing in question is if it was very rumpled or wrinkled, or if the undershirt hung out beneath the polo. Undershirts should always be tucked (for men). The shirt on top may be worn out or tucked in at the option of the wearer, unless he wears no belt, then the top shirt should stay out, provided it fits properly.

A colored shirt under the polo makes a better statement. Try to coordinate the colors to compliment one another, such as Blue/yellow, Black/red, Purple/yellow or black, Brown/gold or red, White/purple, red, blue or green (any solid)
these are the very combos that you would see in Old Navy, Eddie Bauer, J.Crew, etc. that demonstrate "layering" in men's clothing. If you are just layering for warmth, try a white v-neck t-shirt so the white isn't exposed on top. This will look "cleaner" and still add warmth and absorption.

I would suggest the white T-shirt. As long as the T-shirt is the same size as the polo shirt it'll look fine. It's when the T-shirt is bigger than the top shirt and it gets all bunched up that it looks bad.

I don't think that wearing a t-shirt under a polo shirt would look very good full stop. Why don't you just wear one or the other.

I personally find it gross when people wear polos and don't have an undershirt on. As said before, just make sure that the undershirt isn't bigger than the polo, or it'll look bad.

i don't think there's anything wrong with wearing both. layering is in fashion and besides people pay good money for the layered look.
