Neon itself has several green spectral emission lines, hence the
existence of "GreNe" lasers, but they are of far lower in intensity than
the red/orange lines.
Every green gas-discharge bulb I've seen has had a phosphor coating
somewhere, so my assumption (and that's all this is) is that there's not
enough intensity there to be useful.

Hi
Last time I looked at neon spectrum from a NE2,
There were no green lines. There was a yellow and
as I recall 2 reds but no green.
I don't know how a GreNe works but it isn't a normal
discharge color.
