To achieve some contrast between two colours only, it's prettier if a
colour made darker is not only value- or saturation- decreased, but
also hue-darkened. For example, a darker green should be also a bit
more 'blue'. Otherwise it just looks 'dirty'.

For three colours is better to keep the hue fixed.

I'm not that sensitive to hues, but that's what I've heard.
