My preference is to stay away from charcoal (and black) trousers with a navy blazer. I like dark gray (lighter than charcoal)--and lighter shades of gray--but charcoal, in my opinion, gives the ensemble too little contrast and the appearance of a mismatched suit.

It's a classic and very formal combination--one step down from a suit. The lighter the trousers, the less formal the combination of navy blazer and gray trousers.
