Is it okay to wear black slacks with a navy blue blazer? What if I also added a dark green shirt to the mix?

Perhaps a grey blazer instead of navy blue or a pale blue shirt might be better..

No Don t do it Are you tyring to be an easter egg? I made that mistake once the colors (especially dark) are too close to each other it looks like a "BAD" color match if you dont have the exact same colors wear opposites light( or contrasting) top with dark bottom with the Shirt being either multi colored with one of the colors matching the blazer or totaly different from the blazer and slacks.. ( not that Im a stylist but I have made some bad dress decisions like the one you asked about) lol ;-)

If you want but... Wearing navy with black is generally a bad plan- it just looks like your navy trousers were in the wash so you put on your black ones and hoped no-one would notice. If the jacket is a radically different texture to the trousers (such as velvet or suede) it might just about work, but probably not with the green shirt. As a general rule, if you're going to wear a jacket and trousers in different colours they need to be different enough to look like you did it on purpose. White or cream slacks with navy blue, for example, would be OK. A red velvet blazer with black slacks and shirt would look fabulous.

What about wearing black slacks, a black collered shirt with a red silk tie?

Good God, man, are you trying to assemble the worst possible combination of dark colors at one time? Would you like to add a feces-brown tie with that while you're at it? In case that wasn't clear, no black pants, blue blazer, dark green shirt together. While each of them could be fine in isolation, that combination is horribly bad.
