I have never heard that before. The Triplanes didn't have any green. It was a brown in different thinned batches applied over a clear dope linen (which looked beige). If you apply a beige basecoat, it could reliquefy when the brown topcoats are applied (if solvent based). When that happens, you could possibly have a mess. Apply brush strokes in one direction and not back and forth, that would make a huge mess.
