As Nuno pointed out to me, green is the colour worst represented by monitors, 
so by choosing a shade of green we are committing ourselves to fail on 50% of 
our users' hardware.

But it's a barcode, not a QR code.  How about something inspired by QR codes? 
They are sort-of now.  Have you noticed that brands are using the built in 
redundancy in QR codes to make readable QRs that contain non-pixel elements?

Yes, break the greenopoly!  With all the grass green in the SUSE offices, on 
the walls, on t-shirts, I think I may start suffering some kind of retinal 
burnout soon.
