In addition, the "hardware" on the 'scope is a darker, hammer finish green. Also, some of the highlights are a complementary orange.
So, IMHO, the green is intentional as these scopes match my 400/2.8 exactly in finish. It's a good finish, too- I had the 400 balanced on a bus window frame for most of the trip into Denali, and the lens did more damage to the bus that the other way around. The aluminum marks wiped right off the minty green finish.
