Have you tried playing with this yet? I can tell you, from my experience 
with my Oxygen-based deck, that in games like freecell/klondike/etc 
(where red/black matters as well as just suit), I had real problems when 
the colors were too different. It's not enough for the individual suits 
to be distinctive, you /also/ need to be able to easily tell the 
difference between clubs/spades and hearts/diamonds easily and quickly.

What I have currently is blue/green for clubs/spades, and 
magenta/raspberry for diamonds/hearts, where both color pairs are /very/ 
similar (the "reds" by being nearly the same hue, the "blacks" by being 
very dark).
