First off, you shouldn't do that based on Role. You should do it based on
Permission. There is generally no need to check based on Roles.

A better way to do this is to simply point at one Screen. Then, within that
Screen, do this:
#if ($data.ACL.hasPermission("green"))
#set ($color = "#00FF00")
#elseif ($data.ACL.hasPermission("blue"))
#set ($color = "#0000FF")
#end

This is also wrong. You need to set the template, not the Screen. Just call
setTemplate("BlueIndex.vm")
