For example, to greenanddark green.

If yes, how to deal with this please?

Thanks a lot!

A color scheme (a color theme, is the right terminology) in beamer is controls many aspects. The simplest option would be to select a predefined colortheme with already provides colors like you want. The Beamer Theme Matrix gives you a quick overview of some of the already existing color themes (they correspond to columns in the matrix); the beamer manual also gives a description of the available themes.

A little example using spruce

\documentclass[xcolor={dvipsnames,svgnames}]{beamer}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\usecolortheme{spruce}

\title{Work Culture}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Test title}
\framesubtitle{Test subtitle}
test text
\end{frame}

\end{document}

If this is not completely satisfactory, you can define your own color scheme using your desired colors. Now you will have to control the color for many elements, but changing the main ones (structure and the four palettes, and some other ones) you can quickly get a pretty good result. An example in which I chose as base the PineGreen color from the dvipsnames model

\documentclass[xcolor={dvipsnames}]{beamer}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}

\setbeamercolor*{structure}{bg=PineGreen!20,fg=PineGreen}

\setbeamercolor*{palette primary}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=structure.fg}
\setbeamercolor*{palette secondary}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=structure.fg!75}
\setbeamercolor*{palette tertiary}{use=structure,fg=white,bg=structure.fg!50!black}
\setbeamercolor*{palette quaternary}{fg=white,bg=black}

\setbeamercolor{section in toc}{fg=black,bg=white}
\setbeamercolor{alerted text}{use=structure,fg=structure.fg!50!black!80!black}

\setbeamercolor{titlelike}{parent=palette primary,fg=structure.fg!50!black}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{bg=gray!10!white,fg=PineGreen}

\setbeamercolor*{titlelike}{parent=palette primary}
