More likely the color is defined by tcl/tk rather than Python, and your 
Python installations use different versions of tcl. Searching for 'tcl/tk 
color definitions' finds <http://wiki.tcl.tk/1424> with the following 
statement

"""From Tcl/Tk 8.6 on, Tk uses Web colours instead of X11 ones, where they 
conflict.
"""

and according to 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Clashes_between_web_and_X11_colors> 
"green" is indeed one of the affected colors.
