Are we talking about India ?
I have never seen a green one ever being issued in the country.
Dark Blue is the normal one and Red the diplomatic one signifying immunity from searches...
although the US authorities had subjected even our former President A J Abdul Kalam and Speaker Somnath Chatterjee to physical search at the airport
