Green has a meaning of "Go" or of "this
is ok" in many cultures.
Making either side green gives a bias to the diff. Similarly with red.
Red means "Stop" or "this is not ok". Many people associate red with
blood, and green with nature.
And in some cultures, yellow signifies death or cowardice.
It's almost impossible to completely disambiguate cultural cues for something
the size and spread of Wikipedia, except possible on a wiki by wiki basis; I
mentioned it only for completeness.
That said, the original complainer's original complaint was that the yellow
in question *was not changed* to complement the chosen blue, in his estimation.
Cheers,
