I will attempt to answer with the paints I use /own. I tend to work in threes or fours for consistency. Some will, of course, skip tones and mix. I will therefore suggest as I do which is to say one tone lighter than what you ask for.
Castellan Green - Loren Forest, if trying to keep that military forest green. Balor Brown - zamesi desert, to go yellower with that brown, which is yellowy as-is Tallarn sand - karak stone Abandon black - eshhin grey for smooth matte surfaces, dawn stone for harsher surfaces like marine armour
I will say that the GW paint list on the site is somewhat helpful in that, like in the store, they group colour palettes together.
EDIT just to be transparent those are highlights. You've picked some pretty dark-end-of-the-scale colours there. For instance, Tallarn sand will probably go to a brown for a shade colour, or use a wash like Earthshade to do the job for you. Earthshade is a good wash because it is not pure black and thus do well as a muddy shade for most browns, but also for the green. As I use castellan green and Tallarn sand (and rhinos hide) for the camp on my guardsman models I used Earthshade to shade all three of those and it turned out just fine.
