I might recommend that you consider adding Chromium Oxide Green to your black and white to make a better gray-green tone. Mars and white will make a bluer gray rather than a green-gray.

I mix COG and Mars Black 50/50 to make a value 2 green that I then darken with black to create value 1 and lighten with Flake White to make values 3-9.
