A bit difficult to give tips without knowing what your aim is... I'll give it a try:
In general, have a sketch in your head (or on paper or whatever) of which main colors you want where in the end. A reference picture (if you saw a similar color scheme somewhere) helps a lot to shape your idea about the final colors.
Then I would put a white base coat over the areas you want to paint green. It will be more vibrant than applying it over purple, and you will only need a thin coat of green.

Thin your paints and start darker
what you've put on is closer to a highlight colour than a midtone or shadow
this particular video is a must-watch for every beginner
your best results for now will probably come from just applying a midtone, using a wash to recess shade, and then drybrushing some global highlights on for the plates while edge highlighting the trim
