Just remember it's gonna change when you put the gloss on there, as it will pick up and reflect the surroundings.
That said, I'd lighten the color with a complementary shade, so as to introduce some variation. That is, if you've got brunswick green there now (essentially black) then use a yellowy brown to lighten it. Delta makes a 'color float' that you can paint on the surface before adding your second color that will essentially allow you to overlay the color without much blending. The lighter color will be a bit transparent. Really dilute the color and put it on in a wet wash. Let one wash coat dry then take a look. It's easier to add more than take it away.
Just my artistic 2cents

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
