When paying full price green is the cheapest and the reason you see it in the majority of electronics. It's entirely a cosmetic thing.

Oh, I agree! It just seems most people have the best luck with green PCBs in the cable, with white being the least-widely-compatible. *shrugs*
I'm betting there's some part # difference or something between the green, white, and whatever the third color (brown?) I saw mentioned was. Different rev, or something.
