Why Isn't the Green Card Green?

[SreeExpat]

I have just received my Card, and as many of the members already know, the Card isn't Green.

Albeit it's a coveted Card to have in your wallet, the color of the Card is not a pressing matter to me after having endured several years of oblivion. I don't care if it's not Green !!

anyways, I thought I would post the following links for some fun reading

It is Green

Here's my theory: When we first apply for the green card it is actually green and as it waits for an approval for long months and years on a shelf it turns white with age by the time it gets to us.
Just a thought...

years back when it just started the card was green, but only for a few years. the colors have changed many times since but the name stuck
