Green all over again. Arrgh.

So I am working on this fair sized painting which has various tentative titles, currently Jewel Box 1, but could simultaneously be a Minoan something or something else, when I realized that I can't remember how I mixed the original green, which I like very much.  I have tried emerald green, permanent green, pthalo green blue, chromium green, SAP green, lime green, all with mixtures of white and hansa yellow, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue and cobalt blue.  Everything comes out too green, too blue, or too grey.  I know my original mix was very simple but that's all I remember.  I feel like I have been down this road before.
