Rusty,  

I have grown many so called "green" iris and the greenest one I have
ever seen is EVERGREEN HIDEAWAY.  I sometimes ask visitors to my garden,
who are not Jaded by iris colors to "tell me the color" of E H.  They
all say Chartruese.  So I guess thats pretty close to green.  The only
fault with E H is that it is somewhat short for me.  I grew Green
Prophecy for a number of years and it is not close to E H. Another that
had a chartruse cast this cool El Nino spring was PRIDE OF IRELAND.  

GREEN AND GIFTED is a blend of gray and green with a brown beard.  It
can look quite impressive on a cool day.
