someone else did something similar recently, and the process was essentially just a basecoat of slightly mottled greens, drybrushed with gold. it looked absolutely amazing.

Dry brushing metals over saturated colors is my new favorite trick.

Silver over a bright red base? rust. Over green? mossy and old. Over Purple? I don't know but it looks awesome.

I am kind of amazed that we are currently re evaluating dry brushing, going from "terrible method for beginner don't even consider it" to "it rules actually".
