What trousers for light tweed jacket

I purchased a light herringbone tweed blazer and would like to know what color trousers could be worn with it.

I have matching tweed trousers but would not always want to wear them with the jacket.

It seems like a dark brown cord might work or olive or hunter green cord or flannel.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Pic of the sport coat?

WIthout seeing it, I'd say you have numerous options. Brown, navy, the right grey, green. Probably more than you think.

“Light herringbone” is not a color. What color is the jacket?

Yes, I think you have several options. You have a lot of options in terms of color but I would stay with warmer tones of grey, brown, green/olive. In my opinion you should also have some contrast in lightness. So light grey would work well; a medium grey might be too close in lightness. The trousers should have some texture as well. Corduroy, moleskin, flannel are all possibilities.
