No. AFAIK _no_ green displays are nixie tubes
(what gas would they have
to contain I wonder?)
Oxygen at a suitable pressure? IIUC at very low pressure it glows red,
at higher pressure it glows green and at suffieciently high pressure the
decay is non-radiative. I'm guessing you'd have problems with electrode
erosion though.
