I tried that out for green and came up with a bg graphic in which the bottom, dark line has the value 1A884E
The gradient at the top seems to run down from 1B4F89 to 4AB87E

The resulting background has a sort of minty green look, not the "Royal Green" value to match the blue. I also tried picking reds and greens from the same radiant on a color wheel, but that didn't work.

I'm starting to suspect that I don't understand the question. It seems to me that you pick colors and go with them. The full blue looks good, but green and red in the same value would NOT. You'd get the typical urpy green look, and fire truck connotations. My guess is you'd want to go to more muted shades in both, a marron or hunter green thing.
But then, like I said, I don't have much of an idea what Web2 has to do with esthetics.
