I'd have preferred to see green in a special edition, not unlike the LV Hulk Sub.

I think the reason that the red hand is preferred over the other colors is, between all colors, bright red has the greatest visual contrast against black (aside m, of course, from white).

Well, the green hand was an homage to the fiftieth anniversary of the GMT, but admittedly it is not a "special edition". SE's are not common with Rolex.

Legibility of the 24 hour hand is not that important to me personally because since I'm reading the time of the outer dial I tend to look for the arrow marker and not the hand. I actually rather like that the green hand blends in and makes the dial less busy when reading the time off the dial using the other hands.
