While playing with my triads, I've definitely found that green is the hardest to come by, at least when glazing (layering colors and letting the transparent pigments show through rather than mixing on the palette). Oranges and purples and grays and browns seem to take care of themselves, but green takes some work.
Linda Farmer sent me a link to an article by Charles Sovek on mixing greens and it's one that is useful for watercolor, oils or acrylics.
Charles has many other articles as well, and the few I've read so far are all excellent, and good for more than one medium. I particularly like his article on Finding the Three Shapes Under Everything and Creating Effective Shadows.
