What we neonists would give for a pure green gas! Unfortunately there isn't one. Krypton does a rather boring greenish tinged dull white. Neon has an excitation state that decays with a green photon but it's very hard to get it that excited without laser light. Copper ion lasers do a beautiful green plasma but that's not something that could be used for display purposes. Unfortunately for the color green, it's either colored glass or phosphor.
