Halo Diorama - Painting Trees

We've got the basics together with the trees and creepers which are the basic structure but now we need to paint them.  I started off with a brown but changed to grey after I'd lived with it for a while.  Tree colours are so hard to nail and I often tend to the brown over the grey.  Do let me know which colourway you prefer in the comments. I try and use acrylic paints as they're better for my lungs but I do need to stress the if airbrushing - please where a face mask - your lungs will thank you for it. You could have painted this without an airbrush but it's hard to get that gradation and to reach everywhere without one.
