Which is better (color comparison)?

Here be two different colorizations of the same template.

I ask of thee to proclaim the victor in the battle of good design.

The header is probably best ignored, since it shall be changed soon (for the greener design)

 

The green one for me, the color blends with the sidebar and the main page.

 

IMO the second one has a better contrast and puts an emphasis on the content.

 

I like the one below

 

I like the 2nd one better.

 

Thanks guys!

+rep given.

Still looking for more opinions till I get not-lazy enough to change it.

Upper - 1
Lower - 3

Probably going to use lower with maybe a few other touches.
