Painting over a dark Farrow & Ball colour? Help!

Can anyone please help!

I have finally found my perfect shade of green (hallelujah). I currently have F&B stiffkey blue on one wall. The colour I've chosen to go over is a crown period paint in Promenade- like a medium green colour, so it's not a light colour itself, but as anyone who has used F&B paint, their paints are super pigmented while Crown paints are perhaps more 'watery'?

I'm aware I'll probably need 3 coats. Will this be a complete screw up? Or can it be done? My main concern is no matter how many coats I put on it'll end up streaky. Has anyone covered F&B paint before with more big standard paint? I have done a very small test patch & obviously the first coat looked very streaky. Any advice much appreciated.

Is it Matt or Silk paint?
You could paint the wall white first.

The F&B is Estate emulsion & the crown is matt emulsion so both matt emulsion.
