I think there is some variance in standards for green/yellow colors. I believe IEC 60204-1 has some guidance on the actual color mix, also standards for <HAR> wire should have this. The rule I have seen is for more than just a trace of color. Nominally the green/yellow mix should be 50%/50%. Tolerances are that neither color covers less than 30% or more than 70%, measured around the circumference. The stripe may be either longitudinal or spiral. Also, if the stripe is painted and not extruded, it must be permanent and durable. This is difficult to do on teflon wire. From what I have experienced, most North American wire manufacturers order to put their green core wire through a paint striping machine, and usually only one paint wheel is used of the three possible. In Europe most green/yellow wire I know about is extruded in these colors.
