Green has a meaning of "Go" or of "this is ok" in many cultures. Making either side green gives a bias to the diff. Similarly with red. Red means "Stop" or "this is not ok". Many people associate red with blood, and green with nature.

I don't see why that becomes a problem. I mean, unified diffs have + before new lines and - before deleted ones. Change control of certain popular text editor uses red for the changed text (both removed and added).
A revision is a change the author did. If the old, red text was good, and the green new one is wrong, then it is a "lie", and should be reverted.
