I think grey works well. What else, I would assume navy pants can look to weird? Maybe lighter blue plants?

thanks ?

Definitely don't wear navy slacks or chinos - will look like you are trying to wear a weird suit.

Honestly, almost any color will work with a navy sc/blazer. Not navy; probably not black.

Light grey is the easiest answer. Darker greys usually work, but low contrast can make it look like a mismatched suit depending on context. I do it, but I usually also look for some texture contrast or something else, and my friends know I'm not trying to mismatch a suit.

Browns pretty much all work. Dark brown is usually enough contrast. Brown can look significantly better with texture, though, so consider that.

Tan/Khaki/Camel works. I prefer this color for wool over chino, although the chinos are much more common.

Olive green should work.

If you want to wear white pants, the combination works.

Dark greens, dark burgundies, even dark purples and burnt oranges if you're daring... Those are all fun options.

Maybe light wash denim, if you want to try dressing it down. Should be enough contrast from navy blue.

There's a reason everybody told you to get a navy blazer.
