Belfrybat, I agreed with you! I'm doing blues too, but with orange for the magenta. For my yellow to give a good contrast to my green I had chosen a bright yellow. But at the reveal, I thought I didn't want my 4 yellow squares to stand out like sore thumbs (that's what it seemed to me)-- so I went with a pale yellow so it blends in with my neutrals, instead of drawing the eye. My green is constant, but I'll do scrappy yellow, with each block it's own 4 yellow squares matching. I also changed my clue 6 so that it was a QST with 2 greens and 2 neutrals. (Leaves me a bunch of QSTs to do something with!) I think that allows the other 4 pointed shaped star to show up more. I also changed my center of the star from the 4-patch neutral to one print, using it as a constant for all the blocks. I think I'll use the same print in the center of my orange stars, but didn't decide yet.
