Altering pants color for the correct Raiders shade

So, one of the most difficult parts of the Raiders cosplay for me to replicate has been the pants, mainly because of the distinctive color. I found this pair at the thrift store that was close enough in color, but still doesn't look quite right. What do you guys think of the color? Any tips on altering the color of these pants?

Honestly dude if you are going budget any dress pants that are light brown/beige to dark khaki would work just fine.

I would say they are little too dark.

In these pictures they look dark green to me. The biggest thing for me is to have enough contrast with the shirt. Trousers that are essentially the same color as the shirt don't work for me. British tan is a good go to color for a close enough.
