You could paint the green with that heatproof black paint for fireplaces if you wanted a more neutral colour.
In the case of @princeperch v. nearly everyone else I don't think there is a right or wrong side, it's all about what level of finish/features you're happy with. If you don't DIY though labour is always going to be a significant cost: it's much easier to save on materials.
One thing I would observe @princeperch is that if you've got receipts for all the labour you're paying too much ;)
