And here is the question- i dont know what colors should i use

Im sure that her cloack will be rather muted green- dark angels green mixed with catachan green and highlithed with rotting flesh or bleached bone.. but what will be good to this color ? I also think that golden hair will be good- golden yellow or firey orange highlithed with bubonic brown.. but what with other parts ? please help

use reddish browns. The red tone in it will go great with the green as a complementary contrast. Other than the reddish brown, you could use another shade of green too. Both green and brown will give a very natural looking scheme, so you might want to throw in another more vibrant color. I'd say add some red details if you are going to use these colors I suggested.
I think the natural looking scheme will look great on this mini, but I'm sure others will come up with maybe more vibrant schemes

Im was thinking about the same, but im afraid that when i paint her in red and green she can start looking christamsy.. but maybe cavalry brown or dark flesh will be good ?

yup I was thinking about something like darkflesh. Or a brown with some red glazes to add a red shine to it. I don't think she'll look like she's celebrating christmas if you'd use catachan green with some redbrown
