jade green breaking brown

I have Chappell's Floating Blue - which breaks to brown beautifully on
edges and relief work.

I have a Cream-Tan-Breaking-Red ........which really does break nicely
to red on the right clay.

I need a Jade Green or a Varigated Green (Chappells Floating Blue is
really a Varigated Blue) that breaks brown on edges and relief work.

Anyone have recipe for this that you might be willing to share?

I have a picture I can send to show where I am trying to go with this
color-wise.

Thanks!

John
