My first response was that the colour is rather unpleasant.

I'm probably influenced by the dripping waveform shape, but it brings to 
mind the shade that Luc Tuymans called "the colour of contamination".  
It turns out -- http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=26209 -- 
that his green was a lot more green than this one, but the blue in this  
makes it seem not cool and inviting, to me, but queasy in its 
uncomfortable mixture of grime with chemical cleanliness.  The Tuymans 
green is fouler, but in a reassuring sort of way -- it has a sort of 
gothic self-indulgence about it.

Still, it's probably just my monitor.

And if it didn't have the waveform -- if it just faded between the two 
background colours -- then I probably would find it cool and inviting.  
It's a question of suggestion.
