It's been years since I painted any 10mm but used green ochre iirc.
Vallejo Middlestone should do the job too.

If you have access to an airbrush then I'd highly recommend Tamiya XF-88 Dark Yellow II, with about 30-35% Tamiya XF-2 White and 5% Tamiya XF-3 Yellow.
People often replace the White in that mix with Buff or Deck Tan (both Tamiya) but at 10mm I'd personally go for White.

That should give a nice base that looks authentic but is pale enough and saturated enough to work in 10mm.
