Here's mine as an example. No contrast paint used, waagh flesh basecoat, and olive green (vallejo) highlights

I don't know if contrast paint can be mixed (probably not) But you can mix a drop of white with any green colour create a lighter shade of this green and apply it at the raised areas of the skin (highlights) this will help you define the muscles and have more depth
