This is getting interesting...never have seen a pure green ionized gas.
There is a possibility it may have been a hybrid gas mixture.  Since Helium
produces a pale yellow and mercury will produce a blue color...possibly it
was a mixture of a few types of gases.  Also some ionized gas will produce
different colors at different energy (voltage ) levels.  Pressure also
enters the equation. As far as any commercial vacuum tube regulators I have
yet to see a pure green color.
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.
