Firstly for what it's worth, the green doesn't remind of of lima beans, 
but of the bile in the gizzard of a fresh-killed chicken or turkey. But 
let that pass.

More seriously, I don't see a reason to settle on a permanent color. Nor 
do I see why only primary colors should be eligible; there is a whole 
world of subtle shades and colors that would be pleasant to view. What is 
important in that case is that an expert color designer chose the 
color -- which might well be different for each major release.
