ELI5, Why are most cheap PCB’s and circuitry green colored

431 views

I just realized that most cheap PCB’s are normally green, especially older ones. Where as custom or higher end PCB’s range wildly in color, why is that?

It’s just a dye mixed with the protective coating on top of a circuit board. Green is very slightly cheaper because it’s so common. The colour is not indicative of the quality of the PCB though.
