It will take two steps unless you want light green brick.
For example, someone whitewashed my red brick fireplace and it looks pink. So I repainted the entire thing.
For example if you want a “barnwood Gray” effect when done, I would paint the green brick a warm gray color, let dry and then white wash over that. The whitewash can be simply diluted white paint, put on in a “dry brush” method.
This might help (though I used light gray) : https://thehoneycombhome.com/painting-brick-the-easy-way/
