As far as I understand, this is about the Insert Row and Insert 
Column buttons on the Table toolbar. I agree that the contrast is too 
low. (For what it's worth, the green in OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 is only 
slighly better.)

To anyone else who wants to check colour contrast, I can recommend 
the (free) Contrast Analyser by the Paciello Group: 
<http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrast-analyser.html>. This 
tool is available for Windows and Mac. Just make sure that you check 
the luminosity algorithm.

(There is some guidance for this tool at
<http://www.spotlessinteractive.com/articles/accessibility/colour-contrast-analyser.php>, 
but it's really very easy to use.)
