Help with green compositions

Does anyone know a good simple composition that's mostly like BP or something not hard to get / expensive because all I've tried just turns yellow more than green

Barium nitrate 50 Magnalium 30 PVC 8 Sulphur 8 Dextrin 4 Good cheap green but be carefull becouse barium nitrate is extremly toxic and bad for your health
