Sorry, but the title of your post is a bit vague.
If you’re asking about what type of tie to pair with a camel hair jacket, which I think is what you’re asking, I would recommend wool or a knit tie. A grenadine tie is a bit too formal for such a jacket.
Ancient Madder is another option.

Thanks. I've corrected the title.
Ancient madder because it isnt shiny and because of its chalky feel?

Ancient madder ties are great for wear with sport coats because their finish makes them more casual in nature. It’s essentially your chance to wear a silk neat with something other than a suit.
You could also try a striped silk repp tie. An emblematic would work (something with a pheasant or duck or your favorite animal would be great). A solid cashmere or solid wool would work. A wool challis tie would work. A knit as suggested before would work. Grenadine is too formal but there are loads of options here.

A better question would be what kind of ties can't you wear with camelhair, and the answer is few.
Outside of I-gentdom, the grenadine tie was never the nonpareil of neckwear. It was simply a less common, somewhat dressy silk tie, which though woven, gave something of the appearance of a knit. But with the rise of I-gentdom, it has erroneously become thought the sine qua non of being well dressed when wearing a tie. Beware: too little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
As long as there is an harmonious color and/or texture contrast between the camelhair c;ptj and tie, it can look good. And one of the nice things about camelhair is it tends to harmonize well with many choices, both silk and wool.

It is! I actually prefer the colorway below, but I'm not sure it would be a cinch for camelhair like the first version.

It's a natural! I don't know how many challis ties I have, but both the terms enough and too many certainly apply!
I've had Irish poplin ties in the past, such as O'Connell's is selling, and have a feeling the slight sheen and pebbly texture might harmonize particularly well with camelhair.
Thanks FLMike. For readers of this thread: I believe the references is to the photos in today's What Are You Wearing Today 2.0? thread where I paired a wool tie with the camel hair jacket.
