Is there any convention for/against wearing an odd waistcoat with a black barathea Argyll jacket?

My wife gave me two waistcoats for Christmas. One is distinctly tweed. The other, however, is a solid, dark burgundy, wool waistcoat with (round) silver buttons. I was wondering whether there is any convention for/against wearing it with my black barathea Argyll jacket for a nighttime function? Like the semi-formal New Year's Eve party several days from now.
