Need advise on highlight colour.

[cgh]

I've painted an armoured train in Tamiya drab olive and I'm thinking about detailing now. Can anyone suggest which Vallejo paint would be best for highlighting this colour?  The colours look very different on my monitor compared to real life so any advice is appreciated.

Any mileage in mixing it up yourself?

I'm using Valleho Ivory to highlight other colours.

stupid question coming up: you highlight every other color with ivory? :O

I normally use a lightened version of what I have painted the vehicle with but this time it was a spray paint and the Russian green looks very different. Hence the ask.

something yellowish
I myself used bile green with a similar basecoat, but I washed it brownish before.
I think the profs ivory is a good idea if you want to put some rust wash on it

I also mix pastels with IVORY rather than white - it creates a more mellow highlight

Light Khaki  mixed in makes a nice lighter color on some of the olive drab greens similar to the ivory suggested

I normally use khaki of varying degrees for darker colours too.
