I'm making an enhanced-detail mod of Master Eraqus's armor first, then FMA automail, and then Terra's armor. But, I have already finished designing an Ends of the Earth papercraft, if that helps.
For the prongs, I would mix dark teal (as close to THIS shade as you can get) poster acrylic with metallic silver poster acrylic. (DON'T use FolkArt-brand silver, that particular one just looks gray instead of reflective, and it's very transparent so it requires half a dozen coats.) Add the teal to the silver little by little, not the other way around. You should get a mildly reflective 'desaturated' looking shade of teal that I think would work great.
For the top of the helmet, I would use just plain silver. Better be the same silver you mixed with the teal, so they look like the same material although the prongs were obviously tinted after being forged---hypothetically. But, if the plain silver you have would seem too bright, try mixing an extremely tiny amount of gunmetal/graphite blue (regular or metallic) acrylic into the silver to tone it down over all. Lastly, you could also darken parts of the helmet unevenly by making them look worn-down: Metal Texture Tutorial by *Risachantag. (One of my favorite tutorials on DA.)
Hope that helps!
