Accidentally messed up my base coat

Hey y’all, I’m working on getting back into modeling with the Tamiya 1/35 scale Jagdpanther and I just ran into an issue. I recently just base coated the hull in XF-58 green and after leaving it to dry for around 24-30 hours I can to take a look at it and while I was moving it around to look at it I touched the side panel on the casemate. Much to my chagrin, I noticed that my hand had changed the shade of the paint to one much lighter. So, I tried to put a thin layer of the paint over the part I touched but it hasn’t done really anything. I’m thinking it might be because I sprayed it over another paint rather than a primer as I had used the wrong color initially and just painted over it, but I’m not sure. Could anyone tell me where I might have gone wrong and how I could perhaps fix it?
