It seems as though it's always green. In GoF, pg. 19 (UK ed.): 'There 
was a flash of green light, a rushing sound, and Frank Bryce 
crumpled.  He was dead before he hit the floor.' 

and also: 

 In GoF, pg. 553 (UK ed.): 

'A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to 
the night: *'Avada Kedavra!'*

'A blast of green light blazed through Harry's eyelids, and he heard 
something heavy fall to the ground beside him...' 

Peace & Plenty, 

Parker
