They are already quarrelling on meta about the accepted answer box getting a darker green. It looks especially disagreeable on ELU against the beige... I find it even annoying, but this is probably subjective.
I am just wondering, can ELU keep the old green, or MUST it comply to general changes done on SO?
Having site-unique colors for this part of the design isn't an option, since having "unified site designs" makes it easier to maintain and update the network. However, you can vote on the various MSE proposals to show your interest in possible alternatives. No guarantees, but the more interest there is, the more likely something will be changed.
Just look at these mock-ups!
(And look who made them — what a coincidence!)
